Study Summary
Children with medical complexity (CMC) account for \<1% of all children but approximately 40% of all pediatric deaths and inpatient care spending in the U.S.1 Optimizing their outcomes requires a comprehensive approach to augmenting care in all settings: clinic, hospital, and home. The clinic component of the comprehensive care (CC) program provides 24/7 access to an experienced team of primary care providers and subspecialists and reduced their serious illnesses and hospital and ICU days by 47-69% and health-system costs by \>$10,000 per child-year.2,3 The hospital component (inpatient consultation service) is further improving outcomes. Having improved both inpatient and outpatient care, the investigators now propose to complete a 360 degree approach by developing and rigorously assessing an integrated telemedicine-home-visitation program (THVP) to augment care for CMC in their homes to reduce the need for clinic visits as well hospitalizations. Building on prior experience in using telemedicine for children at UTH and evidence of benefits in other populations, 4,5 the providers will use a convenient, inexpensive, HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform to make observations in the home to augment care, help address acute problems remotely at any hour, better coordinate care with healthcare personnel, and thereby reduce clinic visits, ED visits, and hospitalizations. Home visits will be conducted by a nurse home visitor whenever considered likely to be beneficial for any of the CMC and at least once by the primary care providers (PCPs) immediately following enrollment of children with chronic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation at home. To promote reimbursements and further grant funding, the investigators will test the integrated THVP in a randomized quality improvement (QI) pilot study to verify its effectiveness in reducing total days of care outside the home.
