Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Home Nurse Visit post discharge.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To identify barriers to successful transitions that are most meaningful to patients and families, and use these identified barriers to iteratively adapt an existing nurse home visit program to address these barriers. This study will also test the efficacy of a nurse home visit intervention in improving post-discharge outcomes through a randomized controlled trial.

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nurse Home Visit

Intervention Type OTHER

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.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard of Care

Intervention Type OTHER

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.
