Abstract

Coordinating care to meet the robust needs of children with medical complexity and their families is challenging, especially in the setting of a busy primary care practice. This article describes the experience of one family and pediatrician and highlights specific factors, such as a focus on building relationships, meaningful and structured information-sharing, and partnership with a complex care program, that can positively affect care.
