title: Selected outcomes of technology dependent children receiving home care and prescribed child care services.
abstract: Traditionally, parents of technology dependent children have had two child care choices: prolonged hospitalization or home care. Prescribed child care centers have emerged to provide parents another care alternative. Prescribed child care parents reported fewer communicable diseases for children, and a coping level equal to or better than home care parents as well as lower monthly nursing costs.
