Improving Care for Children With Complex Needs (I3CN) Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Comprehensive Case Management Service for Medically Complex Children and 19 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 331 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH), in collaboration with several health plans and Washington State Department of Social and Health Services developed the Comprehensive Case Management (CCM) program with the goal to reduce costs of care for medically complex children cared for at SCH as well as improve their health status and the quality of care they receive. The CCM program aims to develop and facilitate a reliable and standardized process that empowers the child's primary care provider and provides him/her with the resources s/he needs to avoid unnecessary emergency department visits and admissions. Our study will include children who had a hospitalization or emergency department visit at Seattle Children's between 2009-2012 and, at that time, had multiple active chronic medical issues but had no specialty service at Seattle Children's to help their primary care providers manage them.

Timeline
Interventions
When a child enrolls in the CCM program, the child's parent will work together with the CCM team at Seattle Children's to develop a shared care plan for their child. This plan will include all of the child's routine health care needs and information about what to do when the child gets sick. The parent will also have 24 hour access to an on-call CCM nurse.
