The purpose of an advisory group
​
An advisory group, including previous ICU patients and family members, ICU clinicians, managers and researchers, can help us determine the scope of the practice guidelines. The scope describes what the guidelines will and will not cover, whom the guidelines are meant for and which actions or interventions will be the focus of the guidelines.
