dc.description.abstract | Improve documentation quality of end-of-life family meetings in a tertiary intensive care unit (ICU). Before-and-after interventional quality improvement project between October 2018 and February 2020 utilising an electronic pro-forma record. Australian, University affiliated, mixed medical-surgical 22 bed adult ICU. Patients who were admitted to the ICU for active management and subsequently died during that ICU admission. We enrolled 50 patients who died before and 50 patients after the introduction of the electronic family meeting pro-forma record. Through collaboration with ICU medical and nursing staff, End-of-life Special Interest Group and Clinical Documentation Committee we developed the ICU Family Meeting Discussion Note as an electronic pro-forma record with multiple key fields of entry. Patient records were examined for the presence of documented details around patient's admission, family meetings and specific elements surrounding the patient's death. The introduction of a pro-forma record markedly improved the quality of documentation of end-of-life care related family meetings. Documentation increased in recording hospital admission date/time (6% vs 84%), meeting location (14% vs 70%), the reason patients were absent from the meeting (34% vs 72%), the Medical Treatment Decision Maker (MTDM) (10% vs 44%), the patient's resuscitation status (22% vs 54%), and treatment options discussed (78% vs 94%) (p ⩽ 0.005 for all). Introducing an electronic pro-forma record to facilitate family meeting documentation increased the frequency of important recorded information. Further studies are required to assess whether documentation quality improvements are sustainable and whether they affect patient- or relative-centred outcomes. | en |
