E-PRIME for barn med medisinsk kompleksitet (E-PRIME)

6. november 2026 oppdatert av: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

Forbedret primæromsorg via telehelse for barn med medisinsk kompleksitet

Children with medical complexity (CMC) have very high needs for health and support services. CMC have very rare diseases that involve multiple organ systems. As a result, all CMC have multiple chronic conditions and need care from many specialists and services. While there are important benefits to the child and family in living at home, the continuing need for complex medical care places a profound burden on caregivers. Telehealth has long been considered a potential solution to barriers in access to care for children. The purpose of this research is to test whether telehealth can help pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) as they treat, monitor, and manage children with medical complexity (CMC). Additionally, it is to reduce caregiver and child burden as well as improve care coordination between multiple providers.

Studieoversikt

Detaljert beskrivelse

The specific aims of this study are to: compare the effectiveness of Enhanced Primary Care via Telehealth (E-PRIME) verses usual care in improving child-level appointment and outcome measures; compare the effectiveness of (E-PRIME) verses usual care in reducing caregiver stress and improving caregiver satisfaction in primary care and care coordination services; evaluate how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible E-PRIME is from the perspective of practice providers and staff, and caregivers. Telehealth has long been considered a potential solution to barriers in access to care for children. The purpose of this research is to test whether telehealth can help pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) as they treat, monitor, and manage children with medical complexity (CMC). Additionally, it is to reduce caregiver and child burden as well as improve care coordination between multiple providers.

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: 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.

Eksperimentell: 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.

Tidsramme
Number of Hospitalizations
Tidsramme: 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
Tidsramme: 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
Tidsramme: 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.)
