r/CriticalCare

Hello everyone, preparing for my upcoming critical care boards and of course everything costs and arm and a leg to get board certified. I completed SEEK and I was wondering if anyone had a free resource for additional questions for practice. Thank you

Hi, I am asking this from the perspective of a multi-system case managed long-term—both in- and out-patient—by a critical care consultant alongside multiple medical and surgical specialties.

I am highly interested in the operational and communication side of this care coordination. For ICU and critical care physicians/RNs who handle these types of complex, long-term cases:

What helps

• What patient communication behaviors genuinely reduce your coordination workload?
• What documentation habits or formats make it easiest for you to digest outside care?

What hurts

• What do patients sometimes do that inadvertently creates more administrative burden for you?

I am looking to understand this strictly from a workflow and time-management perspective. How can a multi-system patient remain an active partner in their own care without adding to your coordination overhead?

Thanks.
