Summary

This study evaluates the value of routine follow-up with a child's pediatrician after hospitalization for bronchiolitis. Parents of half of participants will be instructed to follow-up with the child's pediatrician regardless of symptom resolution, while the other half will be instructed to follow-up on an as-needed basis (only if the child worsens, doesn't improve, or other concerns develop).

Conditions

  • Bronchiolitis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Scheduled PCP follow-up

Parents of children randomized to scheduled follow up will be instructed to follow up with their primary care physician within 4 days of discharge regardless of improvement and/or symptom resolution. Research coordinators will verify that the child has a scheduled follow up appointment prior to discharge.

BEHAVIORAL

As needed PCP follow-up

At the time of hospital discharge, parents will be instructed that the child does not need to automatically follow up with his/her primary care physician. Rather, the child should follow up on an as needed basis: if the child does not improve or if new concerns arise.
