ABSTRACT
This chapter describes an activity designed to help critical care staff collaboratively identify issues that affect interprofessional collaboration and patient/family member involvement. It focuses on the 'processual, relational, organisational, and contextual' framework to help address different processual, relational and organisation factors involved. Collaborative critical care workshop aims to give critical care staff an opportunity to collaboratively discuss issues impacting their interprofessional work and its effect on care delivery in their unit. Collaborative brainstorming aims to help healthcare professionals explore interprofessional and patient family issues in their unit using a mind map. If the relational issues identified by the activity required a more in-depth response, a critical care team retreat may be considered. Family assessment forms can be gathered before/after relatives' visits to a critical care unit. Clinical care pathways are interventions in which the course of events and activities involved in a patient's care trajectory are specified within a certain time period.
