Easing the Transition from Hospital to School for Kids Needing High-Tech Care

April 1, 2000 | Program Result

A project team at Children's Hospital Corporation in Boston determined how to organize, deliver, and finance services for technology-dependent children who have made the transition from hospital to the public schools. These are children who are on long-term oxygen therapy, ventilatory assistance, intravenous feedings, and other types of highly technical care. Then they replicated the project.
