ICU Liberation Bundle: Leveraging Data to Facilitate Implementation and Sustainability

Utilization of the ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F) has been shown to decrease delirium, coma, restraint use, skilled nursing facility discharge rates, readmission rates, ICU and hospital lengths of stay, and mortality in ICU patients. Yet incorporating ICU Liberation work through the electronic health record (EHR) presents unique challenges and opportunities. This session provided recommendations to clinicians to implement and sustain the ICU Liberation Bundle through use of the EHR, particularly leveraging the data.
