Physician's Guide to Caring for Children with Disabilities and Chronic Conditions by Larry W. Desch & Robert E. Nickel & Robert E. Nickel
Children and adolescents with ongoing health conditions need primary care that makes sure their preventive, acute and specialised needs are met and treatments coordinated. This is a comprehensive reference for their health professionals."there is a satisfying presentation of background material and credible discussion of clinical controversies...[This book] is an unusual contribution and it will be a distinctive and useful addition to divisional libraries."--Pediatric Neurosurgery. For optimum care, children and adolescents with chronic health conditions and disabilities need a "medical home"--primary care services that make sure their preventive, acute, and specialized needs are met and their treatments coordinated. This comprehensive resource organizes the practical information and materials that physicians, nurses, specialists, and staff need to provide this kind of care. Fourteen key chapters focus on specific conditions and feature the same format for quick and easy reference: a description of the condition; information on diagnosis, evaluation, and care coordination; a management plan summary; guidelines outlining care; lists of resources; and the key skills and knowledge necessary for each condition. Included are photocopiable forms and guidelines that can be clipped to patients' charts and easily shared with families. Professionals in the field, as well as those in training, will love how this volume enables them to provide an enhanced level of service to children and their families. |
