title: Designing a critical care unit: description of a multidisciplinary process.
abstract: Overall we are pleased to find that what sometimes seemed like hopeless space restrictions could be overcome by a combination of prudent compromise and innovative design. Even though the process consumed much time, the design of this new ICU turned out to be a satisfying process, marked by a true cooperative spirit among a group with diverse backgrounds and skills, all working toward a common goal.
