Measuring the intensive care experience: A cross-sectional survey of patient and family experiences of critical care.

Aims And Objectives: To report patient and family intensive care experiences using the Measuring the Intensive Care Experience (MICE) tool across two intensive care units (ICU).

Background: The patient and family experience of care is an important indicator for quality improvement of ICUs, yet few studies evaluate both patient and family experiences in relation to overall care quality as well as specifically measuring quality of medical care, nursing care and organisational care as well as overall experience of the quality of intensive care.

Design: A cross-sectional survey.
