I am writing about the risks and challenges involved in transferring patients from the ICU to medical wards or step-down units, particularly in hospitals with closed ICUs where care teams differ. I’m seeking insights from U.S.-based physicians with current clinical roles as hospitalists, intensivists, or transition-of-care specialists. To be considered, please provide your full name, medical degree(s), current professional title, specialty, institutional affiliation, and city/state. Only responses from verified clinicians with active U.S. practice will be quoted. Please answer any of the following questions: 1. What are the most common pitfalls or errors you have observed during ICU-to-ward transfers? 2. How does the structure of a closed ICU impact communication and patient safety during these transitions? 3. What strategies or protocols have you found effective in improving the safety and seamlessness of ICU step-downs? 4. Are there specific tools, checklists, or team practices that can reduce risks during ICU discharges? Responses will be attributed by full name and professional credentials.
