CSDM Web-Based Tool Intervention

The web and tablet-based tool is designed to help family members become familiar with ICU environment, routines, and clinicians, prepare for family meetings, and learn how to make values-based decisions for their loved one. The tool contains short videos, interactive exercises, and links to other resources. Family members work through the tool shortly after admission to the ICU, before each family meeting, and any other time they wish to during the ICU admission.
