Abstract
The Coordinating Center for Home and Community Care (CCHCC) has developed a comprehensive, multidisciplinary case management model that facilitates the discharge of technology-assisted children from hospital to home. Coordination of the variety of services necessary for optimal medical, educational, and psychosocial development of the child and family is provided with an emphasis on cost containment. The hallmark of this program is its ability to locate, coordinate, and monitor the quality, continuity, provision, and cost of services at home. The CCHCC model was designed to enable children who would otherwise remain hospitalized at a substantial cost to third party payers to move home, providing a humane choice for families while requiring less costly care for funders.
