Medical Home Care for the Child with Medical Complexity: Care Coordination and Shared Decision Making
Activity description
Children with medical complexity (CMC) have multiple chronic conditions and require an array of health care professionals (HCPs) to manage their care. Effective care coordination (CC) is essential to addressing the fragmented and often inefficient care that these children frequently encounter, and building systems that work for their complex health care needs. This activity will define CC and discuss the impact of effective CC and shared decision-making for optimizing care of CMC in a medical home. The fundamentals, infrastructure, tools, leadership and outcomes of CC in the medical home for CMC will be presented.
