SCCM Resource Library-PICS Clinic: Advice for Those Starting the Clinic (Panel Discussion)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is a discussion between Miss Annie Johnson and Dr. Michelle Beale about starting a post-ICU recovery clinic. The key hurdle in starting such a clinic is funding, which can be overcome by securing awards or funding from internal sources. They emphasize the importance of getting leadership buy-in and educating them about the need for the clinic and the benefits it provides to patients. They also highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, occupational therapists, and others, and recommend reaching out to other clinics for advice and collaboration. Patient recruitment is another challenge, and they suggest using criteria such as ICU stay duration, ECMO use, and delirium to identify eligible patients. Personalized communication with patients and explaining the benefits of the clinic are crucial for patient enrollment. They mention that primary care providers have generally been supportive of the clinic and have referred patients. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the transition to virtual visits, which proved successful and improved accessibility for patients. Finally, they emphasize the importance of adaptability and flexibility in sustaining the clinic in a changing healthcare environment.
