Partnership in chronic health care: care management as an integral part of the paediatric hospital system.
Care management for children with complex care needs in the hospital setting is not just about care managers developing and maintaining partnerships between hospital and community professionals, children and their families. It also requires organizational commitment to a system which is patient centred, recognizes parental expertise and offers clinical skills which are co-ordinated across specialty areas.
