At UCLA Health System, we achieve excellence in patient care consistently by following the steps outlined in CICARE.

CICARE is an acronym that describes specific behaviors that are guaranteed to result in excellent communication with patients, families and colleagues.

Every UCLA Health System employee, physician and volunteer holds themselves and their colleagues accountable for practicing these six steps with everyone on every encounter.
