We want to be sure your child’s hospital stay and discharge are as smooth as possible. To do this, we:
- Strive for clear communication between the healthcare team and you, with you at the center.
- Work with your providers to create, review and change the plan of care to meet your child’s unique needs.
- Connect you with resources so your child can get back to your community.
The Case Management team can support you and your child in these ways:
Rounds, coordination, communication
Your child’s registered nurse case manager (RNCM) will:
- Participate in healthcare team meetings and family meetings
- Ensure we make the best use of resources to meet your child’s needs
- Work with staff nurses and the entire healthcare team on a plan of care
- Arrange care for your child to leave the hospital
