The best solution for hospitals to optimize post-ICU care

Dramatically reduce costs, improve patient outcomes, and empower critical care staff.

Increase patient satisfaction

Post-ICU fosters clear communication and a sense of control during recovery, leading to higher satisfaction scores. The digital diary format allows patients to document their experiences and progress, potentially reducing anxiety and enhancing their overall well-being.

Reduce readmissions to the ICU

Post-ICU facilitates seamless communication between patients, families, and care teams, leading to better adherence to discharge plans and potentially reducing readmission rates. The diary allows for ongoing monitoring of patient progress, enabling healthcare teams to identify and address potential concerns before they escalate into readmissions.

Reduce admin burden

Post-ICU eliminates the need for phone call updates, saving nurses and staff valuable time.

Reduce cost

Enabling critical care staff to work at the top of their license and reduce time spent on the phone, along with reduced readmissions directly translate to cost savings for hospitals.

Increase efficiency

Post-ICU simplifies information access for the families, allowing staff to spend more time focused on the patients.

Increase healthcare worker satisfaction

Healthcare workers report higher satisfaction and engagement ratings when using the Post-ICU diary.

They gain a better understanding of the patient, communicate more effectively with the family, and feel more rewarded for the work they do.

Engage families in care

The ICU Liberation Bundle emphasizes family involvement (F-element), but it’s often overlooked.

In the Post-ICU digital diary, healthcare workers and family members of ICU patients collaborate in care. The digital diary is the only scientifically proven tool that directly enhances family care and engagement.

59% of all ICU survivors will suffer from psychological impairments after leaving an ICU. Additionally, up to 75% of family members of ICU patients will develop mental or cognitive issues, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Approximately a third of these family members will require psychiatric medication. 

Since it is hard to predict who will develop problems, research suggests to keep a diary at all times, for all ICU patients and families. If you would like to learn more, you can review the scientific evidence and recommendations on our sources page.

Nurses & other staff can write as little or as much as they like in a diary. Journaling is part of providing care, not an administrative task. Furthermore, when HCP’s use the diary to provide short updates, families are better informed, leading to fewer phone calls and a reduction in overall burden.
