While interdisciplinary family meetings are evidence-based and part of usual care, this study seeks to test a novel set of implementation strategies (the SET-to-Meet intervention) to improve adherence to best practice guidelines for interdisciplinary family meetings. SET stands for Screen-Engage-Track; SET-to Meet is a nurse-led, team based intervention to ensure routine interdisciplinary family meetings are held on behalf of incapacitated, critically-ill patients in ICUs. This study is a feasibility and acceptability pilot test of the intervention.
