Summary

This study aims to improve communication between medical teams, patients, and families in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. The researchers hypothesize that both improving interprofessional teamwork when preparing for family meeting and preparing families for these meetings will improve team and family satisfaction with communication. The study will involve bringing together a group of medical professionals and parents of patients to collaboratively design an intervention. In addition, the researchers will study feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and whether it impacts family and team outcomes.

When the necessary pre-intervention clinical encounters are completed, clinicians will go through the interprofessional team training to improve communication skills and teamwork in developing care plans and communicating with families in family meetings. The first step in the study is co-design of the intervention, so it will evolve as the study continues.
