Abstract
  • PICS is a condition with long lasting cognitive and physical deficits that impact an ICU survivor’s independence and quality of life. While there are efforts to prevent the development of PICS, an intervention to help individuals to recover from PICS is warranted. An ICU follow-up clinic is an intervention that could reduce hospital readmission rates and increase a patient's quality of life. ABC staff members identified a need for an ICU follow-up clinic for their patients. An ICU follow up clinic at ABC requires a feasible model backed by evidence based practice and expert approval. Data collected and analyzed from semi-structured interviews, literature review, audiovisual media, and audio works developed 5 themes including clinical team members, clinic form, eligibility, outcome measures, and the purpose of the clinic. Ultimately, the proposed bi-monthly ICU follow-up clinic utilized a telehealth approach and four clinical team members (nurse practitioner, clinical psychologist, pharmacist, and case manager). Those mechanically ventilated for 48 hours or more would be referred to the clinic and complete the SF-36 as a screening tool and outcome measure to be used to determine clinic outcomes. While the proposed clinic does not include an occupational therapist, occupational therapy is warranted for this population and clinical team members should understand its scope of practice. Future implications for the clinic include the development of an in-person clinic, facilitation of peer/family support group, and initiation of ICU diaries.
