Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
About 50% to 70% of ICU survivors develop post–intensive care syndrome (PICS), which is defined as newly acquired or progressively worsening difficulties in cognition, mental health, and physical functioning. This article discusses the validation of the Healthy Aging Brain Care Monitor, caregiver version (HABC-M CG) to screen for post-intensive care syndrome. The HABC-M CG was initially designed to be a caregiver based screen for cognitive, psychological and functional symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. We found that the HABC-M CG subscales measuring the psychological, cognitive, and functional domains were valid measurements of severity of symptoms of PICS. In summary, the HABC-M CG is a user-friendly, informant-based standardized clinical tool, which can be used to quickly screen for possible symptoms of PICS in a wide range of settings, including primary care.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation to be awarded contact hours AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
