Abstract
Readmission is a significant problem for children with complex CHD. Post-discharge care requires caregivers to understand the medical care that their children require. Pre-intervention data revealed deficiencies in understanding regarding care regimens, infection control, and nutrition, which correlated with the most frequent causes for readmission among this population. The protocol developed addressed multiple issues concerning discharge readiness.
