Consulting for Families
Sadly, most people are not aware of this, including many of those who work in the ICU. That being the case, when your loved one is in the intensive care unit, the last thing you want to be doing is sifting through scientific papers and trying to figure out how to educate hospital staff on what’s best for your family member.
We believe patients should remain autonomous whenever possible, and clinicians should facilitate meaningful communication with patients and their families to make sure they have a say in the kind of care they’re receiving. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.
It can be tough to navigate this situation alone, not least because your own loved one is in the hospital. Let us shoulder some of the burden by giving you the information you need to understand how to improve your loved one’s chances, and the insight on how to apply that knowledge as their patient care advocate.
Through our services, you’ll be able to:
- Understand your role as a loved one in the ICU
- Understand how to improve your family member’s quality of life when they return home
- Learn how to become a patient care advocate for your family member
- Know what can be done to reduce your loved one’s chances of dying or suffering other complications
The service Dayton ICU Consulting provided was exceptional and above expectations.
As an ICU medical director, I have had to unlearn what has been taught to us over the years and what we thought was right. When I started listening to Kali’s Walking Home From The ICU podcast, I felt profound sadness and guilt for what we have done to other human beings while thinking what we’re doing is right.
I have changed my practice and we had Dayton ICU Consulting at our hospital in each of our intensive care units for multiple sessions. It was eye-opening for the staff, especially the bedside RNs.
