Artificial Intelligence-Generated Written Communication for Families of Intensive Care Unit Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Our research group has developed an approach for providing families of ICU patients with daily written summaries of care as a supplement to traditional verbal communication. Written summaries describe the patient's main ICU problems and management plan and are delivered to families each day. Despite the benefits of written communication to both the family and clinician experience, the main barrier to implementing this communication approach is the time required for clinicians to create a written summary. For the proposed pilot study, the investgators will ask ICU clinicians to identify patients and respective families for whom there has been a challenge with communication. The investigators will ask ICU clinicians to edit AI-generated written summaries for content and clarity before they are delivered to families. The investigators hypothesize that this process will acceptable and feasible for ICU clinicians and families.
