Pediatric Project Delivery of Chronic Care (DOCC)

Pediatric Project Delivery of Chronic Care (DOCC) is a virtual, two-hour workshop that gives learners the opportunity to work in teams with students of other disciplines to better understand the issues involved in providing care for a child with special health care needs and the importance of putting the family at the center of the health care system.

Objectives: 

  1. Define patient centered medical home care in terms of accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective 
  1. Describe elements that designate a pediatric patient as medically complex 
  1. Describe the role of your respective professional program 
  1. Identify elements of family centered care 
  1. Identify and analyze common barriers to successful implementation of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model 

Have you ever wondered what care is like for families of kids with disabilities?  Your consideration and planning could make a big difference in quality of life for patients and their families.  

During this workshop, learners get the opportunity to speak candidly with parents of children with disabilities.  The objectives include learning more about a patient-centered medical home and learning about what other disciplines bring to the table regarding coordinated care.
