Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Racial and ethnic and socioeconomic differences in patient experience are prevalent and can negatively impact health outcomes. Our objective was to examine differences in family experience of care in the pediatric ambulatory setting. METHODS We conducted interviews with parents of patients from different demographic groups who had received care at 1 of 3 clinics at a quaternary children's hospital. Multidisciplinary team conducted inductive and deductive thematic analysis of transcribed interviews. Sentiments and recurring themes were compared within and between racial and ethnic groups, insurance status, and language. RESULTS Eighty parents were interviewed. Three primary themes were identified: (1) mitigation of system issues: parents' mixed experiences with staff or clinicians mitigating system issues impacted their overall perceptions of care; (2) pivotal role of personal interactions: clinicians' interactions positively influenced family-clinician relationships and offset negative experiences; (3) effective explanations: clinicians' clear and thorough explanations were crucial in enhancing parent confidence in care. As an overarching theme, discrimination and disrespect by staff undermined trust in care, affecting all aspects of experience. With the exception of explanations, a higher proportion of publicly-insured parents reported negative experiences across all themes compared to those with private insurance. Asian parents with public insurance had the highest proportion of interviews that were mainly negative in sentiment. CONCLUSIONS Our findings offer nuanced insights into differences in the experience of ambulatory care. Insurance status emerged as an important marker of differential perceptions of care. Our study points to areas for improvement and highlights family-clinician interactions as vital to overall positive experience.

Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the perceptions of parents whose children are hospitalized about family-centered care provided in the hospital and their health care satisfaction and the factors affecting them.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with parents (n=169) of children who were hospitalized in a university hospital in Turkey between May and July 2019. Data were collected with "Child and Family Information Form", "Family-Centered Care Scale" and "PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Scale". Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U, and Spearman correlation tests.
Results: The mean age of the children was 6.86±5.63, 51.5% were male, 56.2% were hospitalized before and 88.2% of parents received information about the care and treatment of their children. There was a positive correlation between the parents’ Family-Centered Care Scale and PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Scale scores and between the age of the children and age of the mother and the PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Scale scores, the number of children and Family-Centered Care Scale scores of parents. A statistically significant difference was found between the child's previous hospitalization and median scores of the Family-Centered Care Scale, and between whether parents receive information about the care and treatment of their children and the median scores of the PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Scale.
Conclusion: In this study, as the family-centered care that parents expect was met, their health care satisfaction increased. As the age of children and mothers increased, parents' health care satisfaction increased. Health care satisfaction of parents who received information about treatment and care was found higher.

Abstract
To describe current rehabilitation models of care and programmes, in Australia and internationally, related to family-centred care, psychosocial support, and transitions used for children and youth who have sustained major traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injuries. Fourteen services were interviewed, including eight medical rehabilitation services, three community-based rehabilitation services, two insurance services, and one state-wide education service provider. Semi-structured interviews were transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis in NVivo. Compared to the number of services supporting children and youth with traumatic brain injury, a very limited number supported those with spinal cord injury. Although valued and often included in the model of care, family-centred care was rarely systematically evaluated by the services. Most services provided psychosocial and transition support to children and youth, and their families in the short-term post-injury, but not in the long-term. Several challenges also hindered the smooth delivery of these support services, including poor communication between service providers. These findings show that services aimed to provide the best possible care to these children and youth, and their families; guided by rehabilitation models of care. However, challenges persist with regards to delivering family-centred care, coordinating return to school, and providing long-term support for psychosocial problems and transition.

Viewpoints from families for improving transition from NICU-to-home for infants with medical complexity at a safety net hospital: a qualitative study. BMC Pediatr 2019; 19:223. [PMID: 31277630 PMCID: PMC6610911 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-019-1604-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We have limited information on families’ experiences during transition and after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods Open-ended semi-structured interviews were conducted with English or Spanish- speaking families enrolled in Medicaid in an urban high-risk infant follow up clinic at a safety-net center, which serves preterm and high-risk term infants. We generated salient themes using inductive-deductive thematic analysis. Results Twenty-one participants completed the study. The infant’s median (IQR) birth weight was 1750 (1305, 2641) grams; 71% were Hispanic and 10% were Black non-Hispanic; 62% reported living in a neighborhood with 3-4th quartile economic hardship. All were classified as having chronic disease per the Pediatric Medical Complexity Algorithm and 67% had medical complexity. A conceptual model was constructed and the analysis revealed major themes describing families’ challenges and ideas to support transition centered on the parent-child role and parent self-efficacy. The challenges were: (1) comparison to normal babies, (2) caregiver mental health, (3) need for information. Ideas to support transition included, (1) support systems, (2) interventions using mobile health technology (3) improved communication to the primary care provider and (4) information regarding financial assistance programs. Specific subthemes differed in frequency counts between infants with and without medical complexity. Conclusions Families often compare their preterm or high-risk infant to their peers and mothers feel great anxiety and stress. However, families often found hope and resilience in peer support and cited that in addition to information needs, interventions using mobile health technology and transition and financial systems could better support families after discharge.

Abstract
Children with medical complexity (CMC) are a subset of children and youth with special health care needs with high resource use and health care costs. Novel care delivery models in which care coordination and other services to CMC are provided are a focus of national and local health care and policy initiatives. Current models of care for CMC can be grouped into 3 main categories: (1) primary care-centered models, (2) consultative- or comanagement-centered models, and (3) episode-based models. Each model has unique advantages and disadvantages. Evaluations of these models have demonstrated positive outcomes, but most studies have limited generalizability for broader populations of CMC. A lack of standardized outcomes and population definitions for CMC hinders assessment of the comparative effectiveness of different models of care and identification of which components of the models lead to positive outcomes. Ongoing challenges include inadequate support for family caregivers and threats to the sustainability of models of care. Collaboration among key stakeholders (patients, families, providers, payers, and policy makers) is needed to address the gaps in care and create best practice guidelines to ensure the delivery of high-value care for CMC.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Unmet Need for Pediatric Therapy Services: The Role of Family-Centered Care. Acad Pediatr 2017; 17:27-33. [PMID: 27368126 DOI: 10.1016/j.acap.2016.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2016] [Revised: 06/20/2016] [Accepted: 06/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether individual elements of family-centered care (FCC) mediate racial/ethnic disparities in parent-reported unmet therapy need. METHODS We conducted a secondary data analysis using the 2009-2010 National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs. A total of 6478 black, Hispanic, and white children ages 0 to 5 years had complete data on parent-reported unmet need and FCC. Five measured indicators of FCC included whether the child's health care provider spent enough time with the child (time), listened carefully to the child's parents (listening), was sensitive to family culture and values (sensitivity), delivered information specific to the child's health (information), and helped parents feel like partners (partnership). We performed staged multivariate logistic regression to test the association between race/ethnicity and parent-reported unmet therapy need, and to explore whether this association was mediated by elements of FCC using the Baron-Kenny mediation framework. RESULTS Eighteen percent of children with special health care needs 0 to 5 years old with reported therapy need experienced unmet need. Black and Hispanic children were more likely than white children to have parent-reported unmet therapy need (adjusted odds ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval 1.08-2.36). This disparity was no longer significant after adjustment for the FCC elements of time, sensitivity, or partnership. CONCLUSIONS The provision of FCC is likely an important factor in meeting the therapy needs of children with developmental delay and in reducing racial/ethnic disparities in parent-reported unmet therapy need. Interventions aimed at fostering parent-provider relationships through improved cultural sensitivity and engagement of parents as partners are necessary to ensure equitable utilization of these services.

Is Satisfaction with the Acute-Care Experience Higher amongst Consumers Treated in the Private Sector? A Survey of Public and Private Sector Arthroplasty Recipients. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0159799. [PMID: 27490358 PMCID: PMC4973896 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0159799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2015] [Accepted: 07/08/2016] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Consumer satisfaction with the acute-care experience could reasonably be expected to be higher amongst those treated in the private sector compared to those treated in the public sector given the former relies on high-level satisfaction of its consumers and their subsequent recommendations to thrive. The primary aims of this study were to determine, in a knee or hip arthroplasty cohort, if surgery in the private sector predicts greater overall satisfaction with the acute-care experience and greater likelihood to recommend the same hospital. A secondary aim was to determine whether satisfaction across a range of service domains is also higher in the private sector. Methods A telephone survey was conducted 35 days post-surgery. The hospital cohort comprised eight public and seven private high-volume arthroplasty providers. Consumers rated overall satisfaction with care out of 100 and likeliness to recommend their hospital on a 5-point Likert scale. Additional Likert-style questions were asked covering specific service domains. Generalized estimating equation models were used to analyse overall satisfaction (dichotomised as ≥ 90 or < 90) and future recommendations for care (dichotomised as ‘definitely recommend’ or ‘other’), whilst controlling for covariates. The proportions of consumers in each sector reporting the best Likert response for each individual domain were compared using non-parametric tests. Results 457 survey respondents (n = 210 private) were included. Less patient-reported joint impairment pre-surgery [OR 1.03 (95% CI 1.01–1.05)] and absence of an acute complication (OR 2.13 95% CI 1.41–3.23) significantly predicted higher overall satisfaction. Hip arthroplasty [OR 1.84 (1.1–2.96)] and an absence of an acute complication [OR 2.31 (1.28–4.17] significantly predicted greater likelihood for recommending the hospital. The only care domains where the private out-performed the public sector were hospitality (46.7 vs 35.6%, p <0.01) and frequency of surgeon visitation (76.4 vs 65.8%, p = 0.03). Conclusions Arthroplasty consumers treated in the private sector are not more satisfied with their acute-care experience nor are they more likely to recommend their hospital provider. Rather, avoidance of complications in either sector appears to result in improved satisfaction as well as a greater likelihood that patients would recommend their hospital provider.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate (1) family-centered care (FCC) and shared decision-making (SDM) prevalence, and (2) associations of FCC and SDM (FCC/SDM) with health care outcomes among U.S. children. DATA SOURCE The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS-HC), a nationally representative survey of the noninstitutionalized, civilian population. STUDY DESIGN Secondary analyses of prospectively collected data on 15,764 U.S. children were conducted to examine FCC/SDM prevalence in year 1 and associations of FCC/SDM in year 1 with health services utilization, medical expenditures, and unmet health care needs in year 2. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS We combined four MEPS-HC longitudinal files from 2007 to 2011. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS FCC/SDM prevalence in year 1 varied from 38.6 to 93.7 percent, and it was lower for composites with more stringent scoring approaches. FCC/SDM composites with stringent scoring approaches in year 1 were associated with reduced unmet needs in year 2. FCC/SDM, across all year 1 composites, was not associated with health services utilization or medical expenditures in year 2. FCC/SDM year 1 subcomponents describing consensus building and mutual agreement were consistently associated with unmet health care needs in year 2. CONCLUSIONS FCC/SDM composites with stringent scoring approaches measuring consensus building and mutual agreement may have the greatest utility for pediatric health care quality improvement efforts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patient experience scores are now recognized as a chief indicator of healthcare quality. This report compares outpatient pediatric otolaryngology patient satisfaction in the teaching and non-teaching settings. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional, multi-site, patient-level analysis of satisfaction surveys (Press Ganey™ Medical Practice©) completed by parents of pediatric otolaryngology patients in FY2010. METHODS Surveys were stratified by teaching/non-teaching affiliation. The survey has 29 Likert-scaled questions which comprise an overall score and subscores in 6 domains: access, visit, nursing, provider, personal issues, and assessment. The item likelihood-to-recommend was measured to indicate practice loyalty. Mean scores were compared by Kruskal-Wallis rank test. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association of teaching status with receipt of highest scores (HI-SCORES). RESULTS 4704 pediatric surveys were analyzed, with 1984 (42%) from the teaching setting. For the teaching setting, mean scores were lower overall (88.1 vs. 89.0; p<0.001) and in domains of access (includes scheduling ease, promptness in returning calls; 86.7 vs. 89.4; p<0.001) and personal issues (includes office hour convenience, sensitivity to needs; 87.0 vs. 88.5; p<0.001). Differences in access scores were largest for young children (0-<6 years; 86.0 vs. 89.5; p<0.001). Children in the teaching setting were less likely to have HI-SCORES overall (OR 0.78; 95%CI 0.65-0.95; p=0.011) and for access (OR 0.8; 95%CI 0.67-0.95; p=0.012); probability of HI-SCORES was similar for the two settings for all other domains. CONCLUSIONS Parents of pediatric otolaryngology patients evaluated in the teaching setting report lower satisfaction related to access, but similar scores for care providers and practice loyalty. Academic otolaryngology practices might focus on access issues to improve the overall care experience for children and families.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of a medical home for children with public versus private insurance and identify components of the medical home that contribute to any differences. METHODS We performed a secondary data analysis of the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. A medical home was defined as meeting each of 5 components: 1) usual source of care; 2) personal doctor/nurse; 3) family-centered care; 4) care coordination, if needed; and 5) no problems getting a referral, if needed. We estimated the national prevalence of the medical home and its components for children with public versus private insurance. Comparisons were made using logistic regression, unadjusted and adjusted for sociodemographic factors. RESULTS A total of 67% of privately insured children met all 5 components of the medical home, compared with only 45% of publicly insured children (P < .001). The gap in medical home prevalence between public and private groups remained significant after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics (public vs private adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.82; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.73-0.92). Over 90% of children in both groups reported having a usual source of care and a personal doctor/nurse. Only 58% of publicly insured children reported family-centered care, compared with 76% of privately insured children (P < .001). This difference was significant after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics (public vs private AOR 0.87; 95% CI 0.77-0.99). CONCLUSIONS Significant medical home disparities exist between publicly and privately insured children, driven primarily by disparities in family-centered care. Efforts to promote the medical home must recognize and address determinants of family-centered care.
