Nurturing innovation in the critical care environment: transforming care at the bedside.
By their sheer nature, critical care nurses are innovative and adaptable problem solvers. The Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) project is a vehicle to create solutions when problems are identified. The TCAB project engages front-line staff to identify areas for improvement and develop solutions. The adoption of TCAB principles into the critical care environment was a natural progression in the development of the innovative culture at the UPMC Shadyside.
