Implementation of an ICU Recovery Clinic at a Tertiary Care Academic Center.

Unlabelled: Post-ICU clinics may facilitate the care of survivors of critical illness, but there is a paucity of data describing post-ICU clinic implementation. We sought to describe implementation of our ICU recovery clinic, including an assessment of barriers and facilitators to clinic attendance.

Design: Adults admitted to the medical ICU of a large tertiary care academic hospital with shock and/or respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation were screened for participation in a newly formed ICU recovery clinic.
