PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL: THE CHILDREN'S HOME OPERATES A 30-BED, FREE-STANDING SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, WITH FOUR SPECIALIZED UNITS THAT PROVIDE CONTINUED ACUTE CARE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN TRANSITIONING FROM HOSPITAL TO HOME. THE CHILDREN'S HOME IS A MODEL OF FAMILY CENTERED CARE AND SERVES AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL AND HOME. THE HOSPITAL OFFERS THE FAMILY THE "HANDS-ON" ABILITY TO DEAL WITH COMPLICATED TREATMENT PLANS AND TO RECOGNIZE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AT THEIR EARLIEST STAGES. IN ADDITION, WITH THE HELP AND INPUT FROM FAMILIES, THE CHILDREN'S HOME CREATES A CARE SCHEDULE THAT IS FEASIBLE FOR PARENTS TO MANAGE AT HOME. THE STAFF DEVOTES MANY HOURS HELPING FAMILY MEMBERS LEARN TO CARE FOR THE NEEDS OF THEIR CHILD BY PROMOTING A PARENT-PROFESSIONAL PARTNERSHIP WHERE PARENTS OR GUARDIANS ARE PART OF THE CARE-GIVING. TEAM EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE ARE THE HALLMARKS OF THE CHILDREN'S HOME'S PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. THE MEDICAL STAFF INCLUDES NEONATOLOGISTS, PEDIATRICIANS, AND PHYSICIAN SPECIALISTS. STAFF ALSO INCLUDES NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND REGISTERED NURSES WITH BETWEEN 2 AND 30 YEARS OF NICU AND/OR PEDIATRIC NURSING EXPERIENCE. CONTINUITY OF CARE IS CRITICAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF EACH CHILD THUS, THE SAME PHYSICIANS WHO PROVIDED CARE FOR THE CHILD AT THE REFERRING HOSPITAL OVERSEE THE PATIENT CARE DURING DAILY ROUNDS AT THE PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. EACH CHILD'S CARE TEAM INCLUDES A PHYSICIAN, A PRIMARY CARE NURSE, A MEDICAL SOCIAL WORKER, AN INFANT-CHILD DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST, AND THE PARENTS. AN INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT PLAN IS DEVELOPED FOR EVERY CHILD AND IS UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE STAY. A DETAILED DISCHARGE PLAN HELPS ENSURE THAT ALL NECESSARY CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT. THROUGHOUT THE STAY, A DETAILED DISCHARGE PLAN HELPS ENSURE THAT ALL NECESSARY CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING EQUIPMENT AND MEDICATIONS, ARE IN PLACE TO EASE THE TRANSITION TO HOME. FAMILIES HAVE THE OPTION OF STAYING OVERNIGHT AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME WHILE THEIR CHILD IS AT THE PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. WE CALL THIS NESTING. WE OFFER NESTING AT THE BEDSIDE IN SOME OF OUR PRIVATE PATIENT ROOMS, OR FAMILIES CAN STAY OVERNIGHT IN ONE OF THE PRIVATE BEDROOMS IN THE LEMIEUX FAMILY CENTER. THE FAMILY LIVING AREA INCLUDES EIGHT PRIVATE BEDROOMS, OR "NESTING ROOMS," THE AUSTIN LEMIEUX SIBLING PLAYROOM, FULL BATHROOMS, COMMON LIVING ROOMS AND KITCHEN AREAS, A WASHER AND DRYER, TELEPHONES, AND AN EMERGENCY NURSE CALL SYSTEM CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE NURSING STATION. THE NESTING ROOMS ALLOW FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CARE FOR THEIR INFANTS PRIVATELY AND INDEPENDENTLY, INCLUDING OVERNIGHT STAYS, WITH THE REASSURANCE THAT THE NURSING STAFF IS NEARBY. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIVE VISITING HOURS AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME, ALLOWING PARENTS ACCESS TO THEIR CHILD AT ALL TIMES. FAMILY MEMBERS MAY VISIT AT ANY TIME, EITHER AT THEIR CHILD'S BED SIDE OR IN THE NESTING ROOMS. THE CHILDREN'S HOME DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCING PROJECT WITH THE CARDIOTHORACIC CLINICAL TEAM FROM CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF UPMC. THE STAFF PHYSICIANS CAN NOW PROVIDE TIMELY CONSULTATIVE SERVICES TO OPTIMIZE CARE, IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND EXPEDITE DISCHARGE. SINCE INCEPTION, MORE THAN 5,000 BABIES AND CHILDREN HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE CHILDREN'S HOME'S SPECIALTY CARE. ON AVERAGE MORE THAN 300 FAMILIES A YEAR INTERACT WITH THE HOSPITAL.

THE ADOPTION PROGRAM PROVIDES SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF SERVICES UNDER THE CONTRACT. CHILD PREPARATION UNITS OF SERVICE ARE SESSIONS WITH CHILDREN THAT HELP THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HISTORIES AND WHY THEY CANNOT LIVE WITH THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

MANY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR EXPERTISE TO COUNSEL THEM APPROPRIATELY THROUGH THE STAGES OF GRIEF. AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LETTING GO OF THEIR CHILD THE STAFF IS RELIEVED WHEN THEY LEARN THAT THE CHILDREN'S HOME WILL HANDLE ALL OF THE LEGALITIES IN ADOPTION, FOSTER CARE FOR THE INFANT IF NECESSARY AND SUPPORT TO THE BIRTHPARENTS. THEY APPRECIATE KNOWING THAT WHEN THE CHILDREN'S HOME IS INVOLVED, THEIR PATIENT WILL BE TREATED WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT AND DIGNITY AND THAT THE ADOPTION WILL BE HANDLED PROFESSIONALLY BY MASTERS. LEVEL COUNSELORS WHO ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS PER YEAR HIGH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA AND BEYOND APPRECIATE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CHILDREN'S HOME PROVIDES TO THEIR HEALTH AND FAMILY. EDUCATION CLASSES:STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS FASCINATED TO LEARN ABOUT THE DETAILS OF ADOPTION AS IT IS TODAY, AS MANY ARE TOUCHED BY ADOPTION IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. IT ALSO GIVES THEM KNOWLEDGE TO PASS ON TO FRIENDS WHO MAY EXPERIENCE AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. GUIDANCE COUNSELORS AND SCHOOL NURSES ALSO BENEFIT FROM ADOPTION EDUCATION BECAUSE THEY CAN BETTER ASSIST STUDENTS WHO MAY BECOME PREGNANT. FOR MANY STUDENTS WHO CANNOT FACE THE IDEA OF ABORTION OR PARENTING, ADOPTION MAY BE THE ONLY REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM. ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND ADOPTION, THEY ARE BETTER ABLE TO MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION ABOUT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM.
