Summary

The overarching objective of this study is to make it easier for parents of children with medical complexity (CMC) to take care of their children after discharge home from the hospital and reduce the chance of post-hospitalization morbidity (meaning bad outcomes such as readmissions) after discharge. CMC, or those with multiple chronic conditions, progressive conditions, or technology dependence, are at high risk for post-hospitalization morbidity.

Conditions

  • Children With Medical Complexity (CMC)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HELPix Care Plan

A web application tool for CMC - Health literacy-informed, disease and medication-specific, standardized discharge instructions that will: 1) facilitate plain language provider/parent communication at hospital discharge and 2) act as "stand-alone" handouts that parents can use at home.
