We have worked with schools, home care agencies, social agencies and communities to comprehensively meet whatever needs families have identified. This results in reduced family stress and increased capacity to cope. This is critical. When families are unable to cope, unable to provide the nursing care at home, their children are at increased risk for hospitalization. Managing Information Special U Kids also helps those providing direct service.
Some patients come with medical records that are several volumes long.
Bielski and Kay create a complete medical summary that is easy to read and update. Summaries are sent to specialists when referrals are made, to residents when patients are admitted, to others who are providing care, and to parents for reference and emergency room visits. Previously, children with special health needs had a significant number of scheduled tests or procedures aborted because the patient had not been appropriately prepared. In addition, the sequence of tests and physician visits was not efficient. Rapid Problem-Solving Special U Kids staff are able to respond quickly to problems identified by families.
