Implication

Environmental scan reveals varied resources for children with medical complexity in Canadian paediatric hospitals, highlighting improvement areas.

Key Points

  • Most Canadian paediatric hospitals have a complexity care program, but the availability of specialized resources varies significantly.
  • While 9 of 12 complexity care programs provide services, only 2 hospitals have dedicated wards for admitted children with medical complexity.
  • An environmental scan utilized novel survey tools, engaging key informants from all 15 Canadian tertiary care paediatric hospitals.
  • Responses indicate a need for better communication, electronic access to documents, and improved emergency department space adaptations.
