Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Palliative Care
  • Healthcare Access
  • Hospital Operations

Background:

  • Prevalence of Pediatric Palliative Care (PPC) programs in the US is not well-defined.
  • Understanding the characteristics of hospitals with and without PPC programs is crucial for improving care access.
  • Limited data exists on the integration of PPC with essential support services like hospice and respite care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of PPC programs across children's hospitals in the United States.
  • To compare the operational environments of children's hospitals with and without PPC programs.
  • To identify factors associated with the presence of PPC programs and their relation to support services.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the 2020 Children's Hospital Association Annual Benchmark Report survey data.
  • Inclusion of 148 hospitals from 50 states, representing a 64% response rate.
  • Statistical comparison of hospitals with and without PPC programs across operational, missional, educational, and financial domains.

Main Results:

  • 80% of surveyed hospitals reported having a PPC program.
  • Free-standing children's hospitals and those with higher acuity populations were more likely to offer PPC.
  • Over half of facilities lacked access to hospice, and 79% lacked respite care for children.

Conclusions:

  • PPC, hospice, and respite services are not fully realized for many children and families in the US.
  • Smaller, lower-resourced hospitals face significant challenges in establishing and sustaining PPC programs.
  • Increased programmatic focus and advocacy are needed to expand access to quality PPC services.
