A Multi-Phase Study Examining Hospital to Home Transitions for Children With Medical Complexity
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Children With Medical Complexity (CMC)
In brief
The overarching objective of this study is to make it easier for parents of children with medical complexity (CMC) to take care of their children after discharge home from the hospital and reduce the chance of post-hospitalization morbidity (meaning bad outcomes such as readmissions) after discharge. CMC, or those with multiple chronic conditions, progressive conditions, or technology dependence, are at high risk for post-hospitalization morbidity.
