Pediatric palliative care

Revision area of expertise Case management

The case manager functionality must be made available to all families with a child with complex care needs. Case managers guide them through the transition from hospital to home. They have also proved to be an important link in the initial support of families in organizing care at home.

In 2016, the Knowledge Center for Pediatric Palliative Care, together with V&VN Pediatric Nursing, developed the 'area of expertise case manager for child palliative care' explicitly for pediatric nurses. This has also been implemented within the eight Children's Comfort Teams in the academic hospitals. Because families often need care from all legal frameworks and the impact of the fragmentation within our healthcare system is unfortunately great, families often need care from all legal frameworks. The complexity this entails for parents necessitates a revision of the expertise profile and expansion to care at home.
