SCCM Resource Library-SCCM Family-Centered Care Guidelines Supplement: Work Tools for Guideline Implementation

Pdf Summary

The document "Electronic Appendix D: Work Tools" is a comprehensive supplement to the SCCM Family-Centered Care Guidelines, focusing on tools for implementing these guidelines in critical care settings. This appendix outlines resources and strategies to enhance family-centered care in the ICU, involving family members more actively in the care process and supporting their needs.

<strong>Key Components and Tools:</strong>

1. <strong>Family Presence:</strong> Resources promote open visiting policies and encourage family involvement in rounds and resuscitation. Examples include the Society of Critical Care Medicine's slide decks on the ABCDEF bundle, and guidelines by organizations like the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and Emergency Nurses Association (ENA).

2. <strong>Family Support and Education:</strong> Tools such as the "Comforting Your Baby in Intensive Care" booklet and various mobile apps provide education to improve family involvement and psychological well-being. Programs like COPE for Hope offer training for ICU staff to support NICU parents.

3. <strong>Communication Enhancements:</strong> The document details structured approaches to improve communication, such as the "V.A.L.U.E." mnemonic and communication toolkits by health organizations.

4. <strong>Peer Support and Information:</strong> Instruments like the SCCM THRIVE program and ICUsteps offer peer support and educational resources to ICU survivors and their families.

5. <strong>Palliative and Spiritual Care:</strong> Guidance on proactive palliative care and involvement of spiritual advisors to meet both clinical and family needs.

6. <strong>Operational Improvements:</strong> Recommendations on ICU design for family comfort and policies on noise reduction and family sleep considerations.

This toolkit is developed by a group of healthcare professionals, updated as of March 2020, and offers primarily free resources to encourage the adoption of family-centered practices in ICUs, ultimately aiming to improve satisfaction, reduce anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress in families, and optimize healthcare delivery.
