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.
