Brief Summary

This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a COVID-19 virtual Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) clinic (CoV-PICS). The findings from this study are the first steps in determining the feasibility and potential impact of a telehealth PICS clinic that is able to address the needs of patients with COVID-19 disease and potentially other patients that are unable to attend a brick and mortar clinic and require virtual care.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Cognitive Visit 1Up to 6 months after consent

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Screening tool for mild cognitive dysfunction. Scores range from 0 to 15 with scores of 11 and above considered normal and below 11 considered cognitive impairment.

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Cognitive Visit 2Approximately 60 days after initial visit (scheduling dependent)

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Screening tool for mild cognitive dysfunction. Scores range from 0 to 15 with scores of 11 and above considered normal and below 11 considered cognitive impairment

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Symptoms - Daily Living - Visit 1Up to 6 months after consent

Katz Independence in Activities in Daily Living Rates daily activities by independence or dependence in completing the task (range 0-6) 0=low or patient very dependent, 6 = high or patient independent

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Symptoms - Daily Living - Visit 2Approximately 60 days after initial visit (scheduling dependent)

Katz Independence in Activities in Daily Living Rates daily activities by independence or dependence in completing the task (range 0-6) 0=low or patient very dependent, 6 = high or patient independent

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Nutrition Initial VisitUp to 6 months after consent

Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) The Scored PG-SGA© includes the four patient-generated historical components (Weight History, Food Intake, Symptoms and Activities and Function - also known as the PG-SGA Short Form©), the professional part, the Global Assessment, the total numerical score (0-1 No risk, 2-3 Mild risk, 4-8 Moderate risk, 9 or more High risk), and nutritional triage recommendations based on the score.

For each component of the PG-SGA, points (0-4) are awarded depending on the impact on nutritional status. Typical scores range from 0-35 with a higher score reflecting a greater risk of malnutrition and scores ≥9 indicating a critical need for nutrition intervention and symptom management

0-1: no intervention 2-3: patient and family education by dietician or nurse 4-8: requires intervention by dietician \>9: critical need for symptom intervention

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Nutrition Final VisitApproximately 60 days after initial visit (scheduling dependent)
