Summary
Telehealth enables remote parent participation in pediatric intensive care unit rounds, overcoming physical presence barriers. Successful implementation requires reliable technology, adequate resources, and clinical champions for sustainability.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric critical care medicine
- Health informatics
- Healthcare management
Background:
- Parents are often excluded from pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) daily rounds due to various barriers.
- Remote parent participation via telehealth is a potential solution to improve family involvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the potential of telehealth for remote parent participation in PICU daily rounds.
- To identify barriers and facilitators for implementing and sustaining telehealth parent participation programs.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of barriers and facilitators.
- Review of telehealth technology requirements.
- Discussion of necessary human resources and cultural changes.
Main Results:
- Reliable, user-friendly telehealth technology is crucial.
- Adequate human resources are needed to manage logistical challenges.
- Clinical champions are essential for driving culture change.
Conclusions:
- Telehealth offers a viable solution for remote parent participation in PICU rounds.
- Addressing implementation barriers requires technological, resource, and cultural considerations.
- Further research is needed to demonstrate patient and parent outcome benefits for hospital investment.
