0147-9563/99/$8.00 + 0 2/1/101055 The limited number of intensive care unit (ICU) beds and the demand for these beds often forces patients to be discharged earlier than is clinically indicated. Consequently, some patients are discharged from the ICU with significant health care needs requiring skilled management by health care practitioners on the general wards. Without adequate resources on the general wards, in terms of experienced staff, sufficient time, and provision of services, patients are at risk of relapse and readmission to the ICU. Nowadays, ICU nurses are often able to predict which patients will require readmission.
