The conclusion of the discussion with Leigh Ann Porter and Jen Hurst on the trach and vent population takes us through typical evaluation and treatment steps. Throughout part 1 and 2 of our discussion, a theme emerged…. collaboration. It became apparent to me that when working with medically fragile patients, coordinating your efforts with stakeholders is paramount. Discuss your plan of care with the dietician, the pulmonologist, the respiratory therapist, the nurse. Everyone needs to be on the same page and the best way to do that is in front of that person - having a face to face discussion.
