Comprehensive Care of Children With Medical Complexity
NCT01834456 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Under the auspice of 'Specially for Children and with funding from the Seton Healthcare Family, Children's Comprehensive Care (CCC) in Austin, Texas, has developed a coordinated and integrated model of care for children with medical complexity. This model serves as the patient's Medical Home (primary care provider, (PCP)), and uses extensivists (physicians who work as hospitalists and within the PCP) and nurse practitioners to provide continuous care between hospital and primary care. This model seeks to provide a system of care that more fully meets the complex needs of the child and family, while implementing innovations in care delivery, fully implementing family-centered practice, and "embedding" behavioral, psychiatric, psychosocial, and palliative care. This study is a randomized intervention trial that evaluates the effectiveness of the newly-created Children's Comprehensive Care on two outcomes: utilization and cost of care; and, evaluation of the experience of parents and their families.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01834456
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01834456 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 300 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Seton Healthcare Family, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Quality of Life appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Med Complex Children Intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01834456 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
