简要总结
Our research group has developed an approach for providing families of ICU patients with daily written summaries of care as a supplement to traditional verbal communication. Written summaries describe the patient's main ICU problems and management plan and are delivered to families each day. Despite the benefits of written communication to both the family and clinician experience, the main barrier to implementing this communication approach is the time required for clinicians to create a written summary. For the proposed pilot study, the investgators will ask ICU clinicians to identify patients and respective families for whom there has been a challenge with communication. The investigators will ask ICU clinicians to edit AI-generated written summaries for content and clarity before they are delivered to families. The investigators hypothesize that this process will acceptable and feasible for ICU clinicians and families.

研究组 & 干预措施
Written Communication
AI-edited, ICU clinician edited written communication
干预措施: Written Communicatoin (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Communication Quality (Clinicians)
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of one week
Clinician participants will ratings of quality of AI-generated written summaries and whether written summaries address family-specific communication challenges (5-point Likert scale, 1-5 points with higher scores indicating better quality)
Communication Quality (Families/Surrogates)
时间窗: Average one week after enrollment
The Family Inpatient Communication Survey (FICS) is a 30-item survey measuring of the quality of communication with the treatment team from the perspective of families of hospitalized patients. Items on this survey measure the informational and emotional aspects of communication, and each item of this survey is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree (30-150 points with higher scores indicating better quality communication)
Acceptability of intervention
时间窗: Average one week after enrollment
Acceptability of the intervention will reflected in adequate enrollment and an average score of at least 3.5 on surveys with 5-point Likert scale measures including the Acceptability of Intervention (AIM), Appropriateness of Intervention (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Survey (FIM) (1-5 point with higher scores being better)
Feasibility of intervention
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of one week
Feasibility will be determined by written communication being created for at least 80% of all ICU days and less than 5 minutes on average being spent editing each AI-generated summary.
