The Physician's Guide to Caring for Children with Disabilities and Chronic Conditions Edited by Robert E. Nickel, M.D., & Larry W. Desch, M.D.
For optimum care, children and adolescents with ongoing health conditions and disabilities need a "medical home" — primary care that makes sure their preventive, acute, and specialized needs are met and treatments coordinated. This resource gives physicians, nurses, specialists, and staff the practical information and materials they need to provide this coordinated care. Professionals in the field as well as those in training will love the comprehensiveness of this volume as it includes 14 chapters on specific conditions, every one featuring the same format for quick and easy reference. They'll get a description of the condition; information on diagnosis, evaluation, and care coordination; a management plan summary; guidelines that map out care; lists of resources; and the key skills and knowledge necessary to provide an enhanced level of service to children and their families. |
