?:abstract
  • In the Spring of 2020, our hospital faced a surge of critically ill COVID-19 patients, with intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy peaking at 204% of the baseline maximum capacity In anticipation of this surge, we developed a Remote Communication Liaison Program (RCLP) to help the ICU and palliative care teams support families of critically ill patients In just nine days from inception until implementation, we recruited and prepared ambulatory specialty providers to serve in this role effectively, despite minimal prior critical care experience We report here the primary elements needed to reproduce and scale this program in other hospitals facing similar ICU surges, including a checklist for replication (Appendix A) Keys to success include strong logistical support, clinical reference material designed for rapid evolution, and a liaison team structure with peer coaching
