Abstract: | For many reasons it is crucial that treating intensivists have (regular) contact with general practitioners (GPs). Information
about the premorbid condition of the patient, their will and wishes, is of importance to be able to set appropriate treatment
goals. The GP is the doctor who is responsible for the patient once discharged from the hospital. Additionally, the GP can
play an important early role in the support of relatives, provided the GP is timely informed. This kind of communication should
be organized in a structured way within the intensive care unit department. |
