## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract:
 Survivors of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) suffer from long-term morbidity in the form of functional
disability, cognitive impairment, major or minor depression, and anxiety. These complications negatively impact
the quality of life of these ARF survivors, interfere with their recovery, lead to long-term disability, and cost the
health care system $3.5 million per ARF survivor. These sequelae and attendant morbidity have now been
designated as the post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Although there are community resources and
rehabilitation services, but due to a fragmented healthcare delivery process, a meaningful recovery is
unattainable.
 Indiana University Center for Aging Research (IUCAR) has over 20 years of experience to provide
interdisciplinary, collaborative care utilizing care coordinators integrated with primary care and other
specialties. These care models have improved care of elderly with chronic disease states such as dementia,
depression, and functional impairment by overcoming fragmented care through care coordination.
The current proposal termed the Mobile Critical Care Recovery Program (m-CCRP) for Acute
Respiratory Failure (ARF) Survivors builds from the IUCAR's experience of delivering collaborative care. The
m-CCRP aims to improve the recovery of ARF survivors through a randomized controlled trial utilizing a mobile
care coordinator. The trial has the following specific aims: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of m-CCRP in improving the
health related quality of life of ARF survivors. 2) Evaluate the efficacy of m-CCRP in improving the cognitive,
physical, and psychological function of ARF survivors. 3) Evaluate the efficacy of m-CCRP in reducing the
health-care utilization by ARF survivors.
 This research is innovative as it promotes a novel interdisciplinary intervention among ARF survivors
with continuous feedback and rapid adaptability. The outcomes of this trial will be significant and foundational
for dissemination/ implementation of the program across the US health care system to achieve the aims of
better health, better care, and reduced health care utilization as promoted by the Institute of Healthcare.
