Cook Children's Complex Care Clinic
Every child deserves health care designed just for them. That's especially true for children with chronic and complex medical conditions. These children often see multiple specialists and require additional support services. Navigating this can be an especially challenging journey for them, their families and their providers. The Complex Care Clinic team is here to help. We will provide a holistic approach to coordinating patient care and helping families connect to the services they need.
Working together
The goal of our multidisciplinary team is to centralize all of the child's care needs. Care that's centered on providing the best outcomes for a child takes teamwork, and we take that very seriously. We work with each family to develop individualized care plans for their child and then provide the tools and support needed to carry out the plans. That can include:
- Providing wrap-around services such as nutrition and social services
- Managing the child's clinical and non-clinical needs
- Getting prior insurance authorizations
- Providing telemedicine visits for durable medical equipment requests
- Helping families with paperwork and finding community resources and support
Our team also works with the child's care providers. We are a direct resource for the patient's primary care doctor and specialists, helping them manage patient care and coordinate specialty visits.
Connecting the family, specialists, support services and community programs together with a single focus: doing everything for the child.
