Discharge and Transition from Hospital to Home for Children with Medical Complexity
For a family of a Child with Medical Complexity (CMC) the process of discharge from hospital to home is very chaotic. It requires a more thorough approach, diverse care team and resources, it requires “comprehensive team coordination.”1 Successful transition is critical to the health and well-being of a child and family as a unit. And yet, “there is surprising lack of consistency in both the process and quality of discharge planning across the healthcare systems.”2 In this project we investigate challenges and possible tools to make this process easier, safer and less chaotic for the care team and the family/caregiver.
