For each enrolled patient we will attempt to also collect survey data from one family member and four healthcare providers (ICU physician, ICU nurse, ward physician, ward nurse) for a maximum of 3000 survey participants.
Moishe Hach, a New York physician, warded off the chill in a wax-coated Burberry topper, a wool suit and black leather boots.

We aim to include all members of the healthcare staff (eg, nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, physiotherapists, ward leaders) in the intervention wards to participate in the cross-level educational intervention programme.

Consisting of eight offices for nurses and physicians, the ward is in the shape of an 'H' with the rooms running along two long corridors, painted in bright yellow, linked by a shorter corridor.

After supervision by the interventionalist, the digital written report is transmitted to the referring physician and ward, where it is accessible within the hospital's IT system.
30 40 An observational study performed by our research team in preparation for this protocol found direct verbal communication between ICU-discharging physiciand and ward-admitting physicians to occur in only 15 25% of the ICU discharges.
