Curating PICS knowledge with the goal to increase awareness for all involved patients, their relatives involved and incuding researchers and all professional who can contribute to a transmural continuum of care as well. This innovated way of intensive care needs a holistic view and starts during ICU stay.
In The Netherlands we started the prganisation ‘Family and patient centered intensive care’ to reduce the impact of ICU stay and to contribute to the development of this transmural care pathway. Still a lot to do!

Welkom to Connect, @ruudklerks. The Netherlands are leaders in patient- and family-centered care. I welcome your perspectives and resources to this discussion. I had not heard the term "transmural" continuum of care. I take it to mean "through walls" or in other words continuing care as the patient moves locations, for example ICU, ward, home or whatever the location pathway should be. Am I correct?
What is one change in care that can be make while the patient is still in ICU to improve the patient experience? What "magic" have you seen happen with such an approach?
