From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs will soon be announcing our upcoming slate of events for
September. To attend all of our events, including Lunch and Learn
sessions, Professional Development events, and Journal Clubs, become a
Health Affairs Insider
today.
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome
In the August issue of Health Affairs, Narrative Matters author Joanna
Bayes describes her experience with post-intensive care syndrome
after an accident, which you can listen to on the Narrative Matters
podcast
.
While Bayes' treatment focused on her physical injuries from an
accident, she was left to process "the brutality of my trauma and
recovery" on her own.
She developed post-intensive care syndrome (PICS)-"new or worsening
impairment in physical, cognitive, or mental health status arising after
critical illness and persisting beyond discharge from the acute care
setting."
When Bayes returned home after a grueling recovery, it "did not feel
like coming home," she says. "It takes time to incorporate trauma into a
life, to re-form a sense of self and agency. There is a need to reflect
on the shock and violence of trauma, on the deep-seated, internal
disturbance it produces."
Without professional support for PICS, Bayes constructed her own path
through recovery.
"In an ideal world," she asserts, "a multidisciplinary team including
physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and
psychologists would assess and address the complex physical and
psychological factors experienced during a patient's time in the
[intensive care unit] that contribute to PICS."

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Audrey McClurg and coauthors explain
how the White House Conference on Nutrition, Hunger, and Health, to be
held in September, may provide a forum to discuss policy priorities
that promote equity.
Kari Mader and coauthors argue that, for the best patient outcomes
,
our system must locate primary care at the center of patient care.
Katie Keith also writes about a Fifth Circuit ruling on the Franciscan
Alliance case
,
which relates to enforcement and interpretation of Section 1557 of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA).
If you like the work we publish on Forefront and our podcasts, you can
show your support by becoming a Health Affairs Insider
,
and as an added bonus, you'll get a free gift for joining.
