Group Concept Mapping Conceptualizes High-Quality Care for Long-Stay Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Patients and Families.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe and conceptualize high-quality care for long-stay pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients using group concept mapping (GCM).

Study design

We convened an expert panel to elucidate domains of high-quality care for this growing patient population for which transitory care models fail to meet their needs. Thirty-one healthcare professionals and 7 parents of patients with previous prolonged PICU hospitalizations comprised a diverse, interprofessional multidisciplinary panel. Participants completed the prompt "For PICU patients and families experiencing prolonged lengths of stay, high quality care from the medical team includes ______", with unlimited free text responses. Responses were synthesized into individual statements, then panelists sorted them
