High Medical Complexity patients are individuals who survive a life-threatening illness or injury with or without multiple, co-morbid conditions who are debilitated and dependent on intense medical care for a longer period of time. Critical illness recovery care follows acute intensive care and is provided using a multidisciplinary, system/organ preservation and conservation treatment approach. Referral timing is critical when navigating patients through the continuum of care and the transition to the next level of care. Getting the right patient in the right level of care at the right time is critical to throughput, to optimize patient outcomes and maximum recoverability.

Learning Objectives:

1. Summarize critical illness recovery care and how it is positioned on the continuum of care.
2. Define high medical complexity conditions.
3. Compare the critical illness recovery treatment approach and how it differs from acute illness/injury recovery.
4. Demonstrate how referral timing is critical to optimize outcomes and recoverability when transitioning patients to critical illness recovery.
