Summary

Infants born prematurely or with complex congenital abnormalities are surviving to discharge in growing numbers and often require significant monitoring and coordination of care in the ambulatory setting. The specific aims of this project are to determine the effectiveness of a redesigned discharge process that includes a Health Coach and an expanded discharge binder to improve health outcomes in the post discharge follow-up period as compared with usual care. The outcomes to be evaluated include the occurrence of adverse events in the post-discharge period, quality of follow up care, and caregiver satisfaction with the process.
