Clinician- and Patient-Identified Solutions to Reduce the Fragmentation of Post-ICU Q23 Care in Australia

Abstract

Practical solutions are identified to enhance recovery support for critical care survivors by leveraging existing resources and expertise within current health care system structures, including the primary care setting. These solutions include comprehensive communication, active relationships between primary and intensive care clinicians, and the role of allied health. A new conceptual model was developed that included description of three main feedback loops for health system improvements.
