@AslaksonRebecca and @MichelleNgGong Discussing the FUTURE of critical care medicine!

“The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.” -Abraham Lincoln

#SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong We must expand the scope of the ICU and reach beyond the walls of the ICU, reach patients at home. #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong advances in Supply delivery (drones), monitoring technology, vocal biomarkers via phone can impact our ability to monitor from a distance, before coming to the ICU. #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong Vocal biomarkers can be used to monitor and predict outcomes, need for ICU Care. #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong All the new data monitoring will lead to large amounts of data. The future will not be in data acquisition, but it how we use the data. #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong Enter: Artificial Intelligence. #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong Future of data use is Federated Data- linked data from various sources to create algorithms to drive care. #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca Technology will also improve work environments and help with burnout. Ex: wearables to monitor during the workday, ultimately associate activities likely to enhance burnout. #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca In the future we must have a diverse critical care team. And to do that we need to learn compassionate & culturally sensitive communication. #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca Compassionate & culturally sensitive communication can be taught! It’s a science! #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca Communication tools & tech must be integrated into the care of critically Ill patients who can’t communication in their usual way. Families are important for this & allow patients to define who/what their family is. #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca @SCCM Guidelines for Family Centered Care important for the future. journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/Ful… #SCCM2022

@AslaksonRebecca #SCCM2022

@MichelleNgGong Technology must be evaluated in a systematic way to ensure it applies equitably across all patient populations. Will need enhanced security of health data. #SCCM2022
