Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Delayed Enhanced Primary Care (E-PRIME) Group
Children will receive usual care before receiving E-PRIME intervention.
|
Usual Care: Interdisciplinary complex care teams help coordinate appointments, facilitate communication between the many specialist providers involved in the child's care, support families, assist with practical needs, and are available as a resource (as consultants) for Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) to care for Children with Medical Complexity (CMC). The complex care teams in tertiary care children's hospital is the focus for providing comprehensive care for CMC. Enhanced Primary Care: The E-PRIME team will support the CMC and their caregivers with navigating the patient access portal and how to use the video visit platform for the telehealth visits. The physician or nurse of the E-PRIME team will create clinical summaries about CMC's visit to specialists and hospital and share this health information about CMC with his/her PCP to help the PCP provide care for CMC at home. A team of telehealth experts will help PCPs in using telehealth in their practice.

Experimental: Early Enhanced Primary Care (E-PRIME) Group
Subjects of this arm will receive E-PRIME intervention at the start of enrollment.
|
The intervention has the following components: (A) The staff of the E-PRIME team will support the CMC and their caregivers with navigating the patient access portal and how to use the video visit platform for the telehealth visits.
(B) The physician or nurse of the E-PRIME team will create clinical summaries about CMC's visit to specialists and hospital and share this health information about CMC with his/her PCP to help the PCP provide care for CMC at home.
(C) A team of telehealth experts will help PCPs in using telehealth in their practice.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Hospitalizations
Time Frame: Year 1
|
Number of hospitalizations/100-child years in the two groups.
Number of hospitalizations during the observation period will be counted and the rate will be calculated as: [Number of hospitalizations/ observation period in years]*100.
Planned admissions (i.e.
elective surgeries, procedures, treatments, etc.) will be excluded.

Change in Caregiver Burden scores
Time Frame: Month 19
|
Caregiver burden will be measured using the 15-item Impact on Family Scale- Revised which as 15 items and 4 domains - financial, family/social, personal strain, and mastery.
Scores will range from 15 to 60.
The higher the score the greater the impact.
|
Month 19
|
Change in Caregiver Satisfaction with coordination of care scores
Time Frame: Month 19
|
Caregiver satisfaction with coordination of care will be compared between the two groups and measured by the Family Experiences with Coordination of Care survey.
Scores will range from 0 to 100 and each item will be measured independently.
Higher scores indicate better care (i.e.
care plans, coordination, visit summary content, etc.)
