Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
We will complete a single center, parallel, randomized, standard-of-care-controlled prospective study to determine the efficacy of a one-time nurse phone call, an intervention adapted from those studied in other populations (i.e., adults, high-risk infants), in improving pediatric patient transitions from hospital to home
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.
