Model program. Pediatric extended care.

Chronically ill, technology dependent children deserve a more normalized environment than can be provided in an acute hospital setting. Children's Hospital, Inc., Columbus, Ohio, Northland Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and the State of Ohio Department of Human Services collaborated to design a pilot project that would meet the needs of these children in a cost-effective way. The project serves as a model for regionalizing services and containing health care costs while providing the most appropriate home-like environment for these special children.

Partnerships in neonatal care: a model in reverse neonatal transport.

An agreement between a pediatric tertiary-care center and a community hospital provides a model of a program that has facilitated appropriate, cost-effective, high-quality care for high-risk neonates through reverse transport. This agreement has established trust between the professionals at both hospitals, increased communications to ensure continuity of care and psychosocial support for families, and obtained supplemental financial resources for families of high-risk neonates.
