Study Summary
This study focuses on the delivery of discharge education by clinical nurses to improve parent and family self-management in the home environment. This study tests an discharge method (SM-THINk protocol) designed to improve the quality of care for hospitalized pediatric patients at the time of discharge, enhance the child's and family's experience, and decrease length of stay and health care utilization (ED visit or re-admission). The SM-THINk protocol is an enhancement to the standard clinical practice and will be implemented for all subjects on two Children's Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW) nursing units. This enhancement will require additional training of the nurses prior to implementation of the research project. This research determines the effectiveness of the training enhanced discharge method. The training is independent from the research project and will evaluate effectiveness of this training. For the enhanced discharge method, clinical nurses on the study units will be trained to deliver the Self-Management Transition to Home (SM-THINk protocol), which is based on the family self-management discharge preparation previously developed and tested by the study team.
