Partnered hospitals go through an implementation process guided by our experts. Any technical or legal concerns will be addressed. After completing all the steps, there will be a (online) presentation for professional caregivers. We explain how they can inform patients and family members about Post-ICU, and provide you with the necessary materials.
The professional caregiver hands the envelope to the patient or their legal guardian. Inside, there is a personal diary code which can be used to create the digital diary. The diary is then used to record the developments and events.
Others can be invited to participate in writing in the digital diary. With their contributions, the patient gains an even more comprehensive understanding of their hospitalization. The act of journaling is also healing for the family and other loved ones.
After an intense physical recovery period, it is time to start healing emotionally. Most of that recovery takes place at home. The filled diary provides support in the recovery process of both patient and family. The structure of the diary also helps the patient to gain a better understanding of the ICU period.
Post-ICU uses a sophisticated and highly secure log-in portal.
Numerous safeguards are in place to ensure that a diary is only accessible to the right people.
Some hospitals are eligible for a Single-Sign-On (SSO) service. This can enhance the experience with the digital diary for healthcare professionals.
Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.
Invite multiple writers and readers to one diary. No matter where, no matter when. Post-ICU is available and up to date 24/7.
Inviting someone to your Post-ICU diary is as easy as clicking a button.
Having more than one person write in the diary ensures that the patient can later review what happened to them from multiple perspectives.
As an ICU professional, you will likely have multiple diaries to manage.
Post-ICU offers an intuitive interface and simple diary overview. Find the diary that you want to write for in a second.
And when it’s time to close a patient’s diary, it’s easy to remove a diary from your list as well.
Never wonder about what you can write about again. Post-ICU offers many writing suggestions to help you.
There are separate writing prompts available for family members, friends and healthcare professionals.
Our digital diary will even offer you different writing suggestions depending on the situation of the ICU patient.
Photos add another layer to a diary. It provides the patient and family members a more complete story that they can relate to.
As a patient, or their legal guardian, you can arrange permissions for uploading pictures. Would you like nurses to be able to upload pictures? Arrange it with a click.
The patient is always the owner of their digital diary. If they (temporarily) are unable to manage their diary, their legal guardian takes over.
They can arrange permissions for reading diary entries. Not comfortable with ICU personnel reading your entries? Then switch it off with ease.
We do recommend enabling healthcare workers to read entries, as we have seen this benefits communication and engagement tremendously.
