This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a COVID-19 virtual Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) clinic (CoV-PICS). The findings from this study are the first steps in determining the feasibility and potential impact of a telehealth PICS clinic that is able to address the needs of patients with COVID-19 disease and potentially other patients that are unable to attend a brick and mortar clinic and require virtual care.

Patient characteristics, medical history, and information regarding their inpatient treatment from the electronic medical record
Patients will complete online questionnaires related to their physical, cognitive and mental health function and inquire about current treatments. The multiprofessional CoV-PICS clinic practitioners will evaluate their responses and, combined with information obtained during their virtual visits, formulate a suggested treatment plan and needed referrals.

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Cognitive Visit 1
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Screening tool for mild cognitive dysfunction. Scores range from 0 to 15 with scores of 11 and above considered normal and below 11 considered cognitive impairment.
Time frame: Up to 6 months after consent
Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Cognitive Visit 2

Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Systems - Nutrition Initial Visit
Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) The Scored PG-SGA© includes the four patient-generated historical components (Weight History, Food Intake, Symptoms and Activities and Function - also known as the PG-SGA Short Form©), the professional part, the Global Assessment, the total numerical score (0-1 No risk, 2-3 Mild risk, 4-8 Moderate risk, 9 or more High risk), and nutritional triage recommendations based on the score. For each component of the PG-SGA, points (0-4) are awarded depending on the impact on nutritional status. Typical scores range from 0-35 with a higher score reflecting a greater risk of malnutrition and scores ≥9 indicating a critical need for nutrition intervention and symptom management 0-1: no intervention 2-3: patient and family education by dietician or nurse 4-8: requires intervention by dietician \>9: critical need for symptom intervention
Time frame: Up to 6 months after consent
