214. Pediatric Care
A Pediatric Home Care Infection Control Surveillance Program: Implementation to Outcomes
Beginning in 2000, Children's Homecare of Columbus, Ohio and the Children's Hospital Epidemiology Department coordinated efforts in developing an Infection Control Surveillance Program (ICSP) for the home care population. In this program, guidelines to create a pediatric home care Infection Control Surveillance Program (ICSP) are offered along with a presentation of outcome data collected over four years.

Objectives:

• Develop a Pediatric Home Care Infection Control Surveillance Program (ICSP).
• Define Pediatric Home Care Infection Control Surveillance indicators.

314. Pediatric Care
Pediatric Pain and Symptom Management at Home
Pediatric home care for children with complex conditions has become a standard of care in recent years. However, complex conditions often present many challenges in terms of undercurrent pain and symptom management needs. In this program, effective strategies for managing pediatric pain and discomfort in the home setting will be presented. Acute, chronic, palliative, end-of-life needs, and integrative therapy options will be discussed.

Objectives:

• Describe the need for effective pain and symptom management for children in the home setting.
• Identify key components of an effective assessment of pain and symptom management needs.
• Differentiate acute, chronic, palliative, and end-of-life needs.

414. Pediatric Care
"We Don't Take Kids Do We?" Pediatric Palliative Care for Adult Programs
In this presentation, the faculty will discuss this approach and examine a case study of what an adult home care and hospice did to provide pediatric care without significant financial impact, the lessons they learned, and how they are doing it now. This case study will help participants to recognize how all these aspects of care are applicable to their own practice and that of their agency.

Objectives:

• Describe the need for pediatric hospice and palliative care.
• Identify the key differences between adult and pediatric palliative care and identify further informational resources.
• Identify the impact of caring for children at the end of life individually and throughout the program.

514. Pediatric Care
Bringing Pediatric Health Care Home
There are well established mechanisms for covering the cost of care in acute and ambulatory settings. However, we do not have well established mechanisms for covering the true costs of community-based care for pediatric patients even with Medicaid funding. This presentation will review and share services pediatric providers can provide, and show how to design cost effective operations and identify various funding sources that are available for pediatric patients.

Objectives:

• Describe various funding sources available for home care services to pediatric patients.
• Identify cost effective operational design to reduce financial losses.
• Define various pediatric services that can be provided in the home and other services an agency might explore.
