Creating a Care for the Caregiver Program in a Ten-Hospital Health System

Critical care clinicians involved serious adverse events may experience a constellation of distressing emotions that may interfere with home and work life. Offering support after a serious adverse event may restore a clinician ’s ability to cope with the event, reestablish emotional balance and assist a clinician to function capably in the workplace and at home. A description of a care for the caregiver program implementation at a 10-hospital health system provides a roadmap to implement this program in other hospitals and health systems.
