摘要:

Establishment of a systematic approach to home care for children who require complex, technology-dependent care requires a well-thought-out process of collaboration and planning between all parties involved—the family, the professional, and the hospital. The State of Michigan Department of Public Health elected to assist families in taking their children home through a Specialized Home Care Program funded by combined sources that emphasized child care needs first rather than cost savings. This review identifies the development of roles, processes and products, and methods to enhance the discharge planning and home care processes. These processes indicate the need for parent involvement and teamwork with health-care professionals. Refinement of the program is suggested as well as further development of an evaluation component and family assessment tools.

摘要:

The Children's Special Health Care Services Advisory Committee is an advisory group that includes stakeholders in the delivery of care for children with special health-care needs. An emphasis has purposely been placed on consumer participation to ensure adequate voice and balance with other provider, legislative, and bureaucratic interests. The Advisory Committee has assumed an aggressive and complete role in reviewing and recommending every aspect of the program. As a result of this active co-ownership, the program has repeatedly survived threats of serious budget cuts and reductions to its base. Agreement between providers and consumers on values, structure, and operational needs has been reached. A win-win approach has been possible, not only in the planning and growth of the program but also in the policy arena, legislatively, and with the administration.
