PROJECTS
Various researchers are dedicated to projects within the network. One researcher takes primary responsiblity for designing and managing projects that grew out of network workshops, and the second works with a physician colleague for the further development and maintenance of communication with community hospitals. Sometimes, other researchers and health care specialists with an interest in critical care lead projects that include our community partners and are coordinated through the network.
