Fragmentation of care between intensive and primary care settings and opportunities for improvement
Conclusion
This study identified gaps in care between ICU discharge and reintegration with primary care from the lived experience of patients, caregivers, intensivists and GPs. These data provide foci for future interventional research to improve the integration of care for this vulnerable and underserved cohort.
