This initiative involved patient and family advisors, operational leaders, and front-line healthcare professionals across Alberta. Together, they designed, adapted, and implemented leading practices for the prevention and management of ICU-associated delirium. These efforts resulted in a standardized provincial approach to this aspect of care in both adult and pediatric critical care settings.
Our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 & Treaty 8 and the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta and 8 Métis Settlements. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous communities that have been forged in urban centres across Alberta.
