About
CHECKLIST-ICU will be a cluster randomized trial to ascertain whether the use of an intervention including 1) checklists with assessment of daily goals during the multidisciplinary visit, and 2) clinician prompting can reduce in-hospital mortality of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).
The investigators also aim to describe participant ICUs in terms of the standards for intensive care units proposed by the Brazilian National Health Agency (ANVISA).
