Cloud-based longitudinal care plans (LCPs) for children with medical complexity (CMC) need a team approach for effective management. This model optimizes care coordination and information sharing between families and providers.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Pediatric Healthcare
- Implementation Science
Background:
- Children with medical complexity (CMC) require coordinated care plans.
- Managing longitudinal care plans (LCPs) presents challenges for families and providers.
- Cloud-based solutions offer potential for improved LCP management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To iteratively refine an implementation model for cloud-based longitudinal care plans (LCPs) for children with medical complexity (CMC).
- To identify strategies for mitigating barriers in LCP management processes.
- To develop a model leveraging cloud computing for collaborative care.
Main Methods:
- Iterative 1-on-1 design sessions with caregivers and providers.
- Role-specific scenario walkthroughs using a cloud-based prototype.
- Analysis of audio recordings to identify and address management barriers.
Main Results:
- A team-based ownership model for LCPs is essential, including caregivers, designated clinicians, and care coordinators.
- Permission settings require universal emergency access, team-level options, and caregiver editing restrictions.
- Notifications for LCP review/editing are crucial before/after visits and encounters.
- Interoperability through data field alignment with electronic health records mitigates double documentation.
Conclusions:
- The developed model leverages HIPAA-compliant cloud computing for co-managing CMC health information.
- Implementing these strategies can enhance team-based care across various healthcare settings.
- This approach supports families and providers in navigating complex care needs.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
