Children with Special Health Care Needs: A Model Program to Improve Prehospital and Emergency Care
March 1, 2000 - Feb. 28, 2003
- Project Overview
- Children with special health care needs are a growing population that frequently requires the services of the emergency medical care system. However, there is very little training of prehospital providers in the care of these children, and many community hospitals do not have the expertise and resources to comfortably care for these patients. The goals of this project are to (1) create a comprehensive education program for all providers of emergency care to children with special health care needs (CSHCN); and (2) analyze CSHCN data from various sources.
