BRIDGE-ICU: A Novel Initiative to Align Goals of Care With Prognosis, Functional Goals, and Quality of Life in Critical Care

By providing a structured approach to early goals-of-care discussions, the intervention supported consistent identification and prevention of interventions not aligned with patient-centered goals.
