Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Home Nurse Visit
Families in this arm will receive a nurse home visit within 96 hours of discharge.
Nurse Home Visit
We will complete a single center, parallel, randomized, standard-of-care-controlled prospective study to determine the efficacy of a nurse home visit program, an intervention adapted from those studied in other populations (i.e., adults, high-risk infants) and re-engineered through Aim 2, in improving pediatric patient transitions from hospital to home
Control
This arm will receive standard of care.
Standard of Care
Control patients will be randomized to receive standard-of-care at discharge. This care at our institution includes pediatric hospitalist to PCP (primary care physician) verbal and written communication prior to discharge, written documentation for the family regarding prescribed medication regimen, recommended follow-up with outpatient PCP and relevant consultant(s), and delivery of prescribed medications from the hospital pharmacy to the patient's bedside.
