Critical care evolves to become patient-centred rather than clinician-based

Madam, critical care has evolved in the past few decades to become patient-centred rather than clinician- based. in 2007, the american college of critical care medicine task force published forty-three recommendations, endorsing a shared decision-making model which incorporates the familycentred care theory, where the family is a 'social unit that has significant effect on the patient's outcomes.part of the patient- centred approach or patient and family-centred care (pfcc)is to shift from a patriarchal or disease-oriented philosophy to a more holistic, multi-disciplinary one, in which the family of the patient, including non-blood related 'kin', are actively involved in medical decision-making and management.
