University of Michigan
This study is being conducted to describe the impact of a meeting between patients that were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and a provider that cared for the patients during the period of critical illness. The study team is aiming to describe the effect this meeting has on the physician that previously cared for the patient. The study team hypothesizes that facilitating involvement in post-ICU clinic and creating longitudinal relationships between providers of critical care and survivors of critical illness will have positive effects on trainees, both in professional fulfillment and burnout scores and in perceptions of critical care.
Physicians and patients that had been cared for in the ICU will be enrolled in this project. Residents that are recruited will be randomized to the encounter group or the control group.
Inclusion Criteria for Patients: \- Must be eligible for Post ICU Longitudinal Survivor Experience (PULSE) clinic follow up and/or have received referral to clinic Inclusion criteria for Residents: * Must have completed at least one 2-week rotation in the medical ICU at the University of Michigan * Must have cared for an enrolled patient in the study Exclusion Criteria for Patients: \- Died during ICU stay Exclusion Criteria for Residents: \- Provided only "cross-cover" for the patient.
Participants in this encounter group will be asked to complete a pre and post-intervention survey, participate in a meeting with a former ICU patient at a post-ICU clinic, and undergo an in-person interview within fourteen days following the encounter.
Surveys will be completed pre and post patient follow-up.
