Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

This article describes an empirical “Being There” model of the family presence intervention based on more than 125 pieces of external evidence. Using a logic model framework, it outlines the components of a family presence program, including the situation and priorities, inputs, outputs, outcomes/impact, assumptions, and external factors. This model can be used by units and organizations interested in revitalizing or initiating a family presence program in pediatric or adult emergency, high-acuity, or critical care settings. Program development and evaluation suggestions are offered, as well as recommendations for implementation science research to identify the most effective strategies for helping health care teams adopt and sustain family presence programs to meet patient and family needs in vulnerable health care moments.

Objectives

  • Explain the main components of a logic model.
  • Describe use of an empirical logic model to design and evaluate a family presence program.
  • Discuss types of barriers and facilitators important to assess while implementing a unit family presence program.
