The study design paper for BEST-ICU has been published online in Trials. Congratulations to the study team on reaching this important milestone for all NIH Collaboratory Trials!
The BEST-ICU trial is evaluating 2 strategies grounded in behavioral economics theory and implementation science to increase adoption of the ABCDEF bundle in the intensive care unit and improve care for critically ill adults across a variety of healthcare systems. The ABCDEF bundle is a multicomponent, evidence-based intervention to improve team-based care.
The study is being led by Eduard Vasilevskis of the University of Wisconsin and Michele Balas of the University of Nebraska and is supported by a grant award from the National, Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
