Abstract

Patient and family education is a critical component of successfully managing the complex pediatric patient. The literature reveals that a comprehensive patient/parent education program, beginning upon admission, enhances staff engagement and can transform care at the bedside. Early access to multi-modal education and emotional support decreases the anxiety at discharge.
