Contracting for visitation with families.
Visitation in adult critical care units is an important aspect of patient care, and thus should be incorporated into the patient's plan of care. There is no longer a question as to whether visitation should be liberalized or restricted; instead, visitation is individualized in each situation to best meet the patient's needs. One method of incorporating visitation into the care plan is by contracting with patients and family members.
