    Title/ Topic
    Continuity of care in children with special healthcare needs

    Research Findings
    To parents of children with special health care needs, the three domains of
    continuity of care were relevant in a whole but with different key elements during
    hospitalization, at discharge and after discharge. Moreover, empowerment
    emerged from parents’ narratives as essential to help parents cope with the
    transition from the hospital setting to the new responsibilities connected with the
    home care of their child. Parent’s perceptions about the family paediatrician
    concerned his/her centrality in the activation and coordination of the healthcare
    network. Moreover, parents exhibited different attitudes towards involvement in
    decision making some wished and expected to be involved, others preferred not to
    be involved.

    Conclusion
    Care coordination for children with special care needs is a complex process
    that need to be attended to during the hospitalization phase and after discharge
    to the community. The findings of this study may contribute to elucidating the
    perceptions and experiences of parents with children with special health care
    needs about the continuity of care from hospital to community care

    Analysis
    In this study the directed approach to qualitative content analysis was
    chosen and used to validate or extend conceptually the theoretical framework of
    continuity of care. Based on operational definitions of the three types of continuity
    of care category codes were defined a priori and applied to the relevant text.
    Informational continuity of care addresses “the use of information on past events
    and personal circumstances to make current care appropriate for each individual”
    among providers and among healthcare events. Management continuity of care
    refers to “a consistent and coherent approach to the management of a health
    condition that is responsive to a patient’s changing needs”, which is especially
    important in chronic or clinically complex diseases. Relational continuity of care
    addresses “an ongoing therapeutic relationship between a patient and one or more
    providers”, which bridges past to current care and provides a link to future care.
