SCCM Resource Library-PICS Clinic: Its Necessity in the Care Delivery of ICU Survivors

Video Transcription

Video Summary

ICU recovery programs, also known as post-ICU clinics, are becoming increasingly important in the care of ICU survivors. These clinics focus on helping patients achieve a meaningful recovery by addressing the physical, cognitive, and mental health issues commonly experienced by ICU survivors. They typically involve a multidisciplinary team that includes healthcare providers from various specialties who work together to assess and manage patients' recovery needs. The clinics vary in their structure and approach, with some being research-focused and others purely clinical, and some offering face-to-face appointments while others operate virtually. The benefits of these clinics include providing continuity of care, improving symptoms, managing expectations, validating patients' experiences, and offering support and resources. ICU recovery programs also have positive impacts on the healthcare system and clinical staff by driving quality improvement, empowering survivors, and improving morale. Overall, these programs are instrumental in helping ICU survivors restore their wellbeing and regain their quality of life.
