CHEST 2023 On Demand Pass-Drinking From the Fire Hose: Leading in an ICU

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses the role of advanced practice providers (APPs) in the ICU and the integration of APPs into healthcare teams. APPs, which include physician assistants and nurse practitioners, play a crucial role as an interface between the care team and patients. The discussion highlights the value of APPs in improving patient outcomes and the challenges associated with their integration. These challenges include the variability in education and training among APPs and the need for standardized training curricula and accreditation. The transcript also discusses different models of APP integration, such as the high-revenue approach where both APPs and attending physicians see patients, and the low-cost approach where each provider sees their own patients. The use of standard work and the importance of metrics and data collection for quality improvement are also discussed. The need for teamwork and collaboration among healthcare providers is emphasized. The transcript concludes by underscoring the importance of feedback, incentives, and buy-in from the healthcare team to sustain quality improvement efforts.
