Props to our Patient Champion for finding a red marker 😂

This Patient Bio was provided by a non-intubated patient. The adjective was spot on and it was a delight to chat with her each day.

Our patients here, inspiring us to dream big.

We are so motivated to get this person back to their piano!

@msmwpccm fellow Shasha Chen shares a patient’s Get To Know Me board on ICU rounds.

A moment to pause, learn, reflect.

Team members graduate!

@Gabybernalcha is a ⭐️: project design, branding, training program liaison. Pls share how narrative medicine influences your practice!

@Athena_R7 is a ⭐️: diary scripts, database and questionnaire design. We’re thrilled she will stay on as a fellow.

“I arrived for a code in the ICU and saw the Get To Know Me board. I had never met this patient - but that information? This is very good. This gave me a sense of who I was treating, the person who was receiving CPR. We forget sometimes.”

Learning about our patients’ lives before illness disrupted their narratives.

These stories prompt curiosity, endearment, happiness.

You know - those real, live, human, feeling things.

What a respite from the chaos.

Best part if rounds. Sharing the human side of the story.

1 meaningful intervention +
2 feasible and fun study activities +
3 enticing incentives =
Many small wins!

We like this math 😄

ICU stays can be frightening.

What if you knew that your patient was fearless?

With @acgme support we’re slated to expand the #icunarrativeproject across @MountSinaiNYC and beyond.

Up next? Spring-summer launches at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Stay tuned for your chance to engage with this human-centered initiative.

Beverly Smith is our OG Patient Champion. She played a pivotal role obtaining Patient Bios in the #ICUNarrativeStudy pilot. We’re thrilled she’s back!

Her enthusiasm and rapport with families is unparalleled.

Who would serve as Patient Champion at your site?

[TheICUNarrativeProject @ICUNarrative]

Everyone has a life story.

It’s launch day at our flagship site @MountSinaiNYC Morningside!!

The positive engagement from faculty, residents, fellows, nurses, and families has been exhilarating!

Our first study hurdle: intervention ready to launch but resident enrollment is LOW.

The ask: 3 5-minute surveys and 3 10-20 minute audio diaries over the course of 3 months.

Aside from monetary incentives, share your best recruitment strategies!
