Intestinal failure improve care project at Arkansas children's hospital

Abstract

Intestinal Failure is a complex and chronic condition that is challenging to patients, their families and their physicians. The intestinal rehabilitation team at Arkansas Children's Hospital adopts a multidisciplinary approach aimed at improving the outcomes of patients with Intestinal failure. The Intestinal Failure Improve Care Project will achieve these objectives through care coordination and monitoring, education and training of health care providers and families, pre-planned visits, and applications of evidence-based guidelines. The project will serve as an infrastructure for future clinical and translational research in the field.
