Highlights
The initial concept of a “care bundle” was from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2001 to improve critical care processes to a high reliability thereby vastly improving outcomes[1]
The entire bundle should be used in the defined population in one location and the compliance is measured using all – or –none measurement with a goal of 95% or greater
The first bundles developed by the IHI were the central line bundle and the ventilator bundle
Summary
The initial concept of a “care bundle” was from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2001 to improve critical care processes to a high reliability thereby vastly improving outcomes[1]. The concept is expected to enhance teamwork and communication in multidisciplinary teams creating the conditions necessary for safe and quality care of the critically ill. It is a set of evidence based practices which when performed effectively and reliably as a whole are found to improve patient outcome. A checklist has a mixture of “nice to do” tasks or processes which are useful but not evidence based and “have to do” processes, which are proven by randomized controlled trials.
