Hopkins researchers find that better communication and setting goals for patients speed their recovery
Patients in intensive care improve faster if doctors and nurses set specific goals for their recovery. But until two years ago, no one had explicitly tried this approach. Now, a Johns Hopkins University study has found that setting daily goals for all patients can help them get better sooner. The method Hopkins tested also requires that everyone involved in a patient's care -- doctors, residents, nurses, attending physicians, pharmacists and others -- go on rounds together, visiting each patient.
