Our organization is considering the development of an open visiting policy for the entire hospital. Many of the ICU nurses are concerned about the ramifications and question the benefit for patients.
Literature exists to support and to refute open visitation.
We are interested in soliciting feedback from clinicians at hospitals who have open visitation. We would like to achieve the best possible visiting policy to benefit both our patients and families. The visitation policy also needs to be workable within the work flow of the unit. E-mail the Project Coordinator Read other Projects in Progress.
