A Nurse Transitional Home Visit Following Pediatric Hospitalizations

Rita Pickler et al. J Nurs Adm. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

By incorporating focused feedback from families and other stakeholders a multidisciplinary team redesigned a single nurse home visit to improve transitions to home for pediatric patients following short-stay, acute care hospitalizations. Refinements to the nurse-led transitional home visit included standardization of teaching focused on condition- and medication-specific concerns, the use of red flags or warning signs to prompt caregiver action, and the provision of reassurance.
