Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

48
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

55
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Summary

Pediatric palliative care (PPC) programs show significant operational variability and staffing shortages. Many PPC programs struggle with burnout and meeting clinical demand, highlighting the need for updated standards and research.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric healthcare
  • Palliative care research
  • Healthcare operations

Background:

  • Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is crucial for children with serious illnesses.
  • Despite program growth, operational details of PPC programs remain largely unknown.
  • Understanding current PPC program features is essential for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the operational features of inpatient pediatric palliative care programs in the U.S.
  • To identify factors influencing the provision of PPC services.
  • To highlight challenges faced by PPC programs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 2018 National Palliative Care Registry.
  • Analyzed operational features, structure, processes, and staffing of 54 inpatient PPC programs.
  • Examined relationships between program characteristics and service delivery.

Main Results:

  • Median staffing was 3.8 FTE per 10,000 admissions; only 37% met minimum staffing standards.
  • Factors like program longevity, staffing levels, 24/7 availability, and hospital size correlated with more consults.
  • 63% of programs reported staff burnout, and 60% could not meet clinical demand due to staffing.

Conclusions:

  • Considerable variability exists in PPC program operations and structure.
  • Updated program standards, guidelines, and research on care delivery models are needed.
  • Further research on clinical demand, workload, and sustainability is necessary to support high-quality PPC and its workforce.
