Contributes to considered decision
The healthcare professionals indicated that the AGE-ICU is a tool that
can contribute to decision making. However, they argue that the
tool is not decisive because every situation needs an
individual judgement. “It will always depend on how people think
about the situation. And so, partly it is objectifiable, but partly it
is also subjective” [Interview 9]. The healthcare professionals
also mention that with the tool the patient and the family are more
involved in decision-making and therefore the tool contributes toshared-decision making . “Then you can sit down together
and make the decision together” [Interview 4].
