Brief Summary

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

This is a single-site, stratified grouping parallel- randomized control trial design comparing 30-day all-cause readmission rates and parent experience with two groups of pediatric participants.

Detailed Description

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

This proposal's overall objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an enterprise-level outpatient nursing care model with an asynchronous mobile health platform for parents of children with medical complexity (CMC) age 0-3 years to communicate with their child's healthcare team via remote patient monitoring (RPM).

The researchers will evaluate the efficacy of a proactive nursing care model on 30-day readmissions (Aim 1), parental experience and managing their child's care at home (Aim 2), and healthcare team engagement frequency with a proactive outpatient nursing care model necessary to achieve adoption into outpatient models of care (Aim 3).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Proactive Nursing Care model using a mobile application and software platform

* Includes weekly data monitoring by the study team clinical nurse coordinators with communication through phone, email, or patient portal with documentation in the EMR
* Email delivery of data summary reports on each child's data to their outpatient providers, Unrestricted research team approved healthcare team provider access to this data through the CHAMP App PARAMETER web portal,
* Follow-up communications from providers to parents at provider discretion, and initiation of Health interventions by providers as deemed clinically appropriate from their review of the data collected and their knowledge of the participant.
* Parents will enter home monitoring data daily into the CHAMP App as fitting with their discharge regimen: This may include Feeding, oxygen saturation, heart rate, videos, weight (home scale), or a combination of these.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CHAMP App

Intervention Type DEVICE

CHAMP® App is a proprietary, downloadable, mobile Software Application and software platform designed and developed by the Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City (CMH), that permits parents and caregivers to transmit to the care team data to permit remote monitoring of the patient's condition. The parent or caregiver enters into the CHAMP App data including vital signs, intake and output, video, and images of patients (collectively, "CHAMP® Data"), which operates on computers, mobile devices, and handheld computers. The CHAMP® App is intended to be used in the clinical care of pediatric patients in the home setting that are followed by specialty health care teams to improve patient self-management through the use of asynchronous data. Videos and data related to the patient are entered by the parent and sent electronically to the Clinical Care Team as recommended by the clinical team.

Standard of care control arm

* No proactive monitoring or communication from the research coordinators
* Follow-up communications from providers to parents at their general healthcare providers discretion, and Initiation of health interventions by providers as deemed clinically appropriate from their review of the data collected and reported by parents via patient portal, phone, and in-person communications and their knowledge of the participant.
* Parents will be provided a paper log that they will utilize for recording their child's home monitoring data and turn in at the end of the month
* Parents will write down the home monitoring data fitting with their child's discharge regimen: This may include Feeding, oxygen saturation, heart rate, videos, weight (home scale), or a combination of these.
* Optional: Parents can utilize the App if they allocate to Arm 2 (Paper) at first, with a combined weekly check-in with the research coordinators. The parents will get a chance to fill out SUS after month of use

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 0-3 years 11 months with a parent/Legally authorized representative
* Children with complex medical conditions with medical technologies (feeding, oxygen saturation monitor, and/or oxygen equipment) prescribed by the inpatient care team,
* Discharging to a home setting with parents/legally authorized representatives (LAR's) who can read primarily English, Spanish, Somali, Burmese, Korean, Chinese-Simplified, German, French, Filipino, Arabic, and Vietnamese.
* Availability to download a mobile application onto a parent/LAR-owned device

Additionally, adult participants will also be included and grouped as follows:

Adult Group 1: Parents/Legally authorized representatives of pediatric subject as part of a dyad.

Adult Group 2: Healthcare team users at Children's Mercy Kansas City.

* We will exclude a child who is followed solely by the Cardiac High Acuity Monitoring Program Heart Center outpatient team as randomization for this patient population would impact the study design (NCT0603439)
* Those children with PICC lines as their only medical technology.

Equitable Selection: Parent/LAR that do not speak or read one of the 11 languages available in the CHAMP application will be excluded due to potential translation limits of the app.

Healthcare team users: Non-Employees of Children's Mercy.
