title: A staff-managed ICU.
abstract: After hospital-wide efforts at empowerment, an ICU staff developed and implemented a self-governance model. Difficulties included lack of involvement by some staff and lack of recognition of the elected Professional Practice Council as "director" of ICU. After one year, these problems have been overcome in part.
