A Multi-Site Hybrid Type I Effectiveness-Implementation Randomized Trial of an Emergency Care Action Plan for Infants With Medical Complexity

An Emergency Care Action Plan (ECAP) is a brief, pre-populated summary of suggested emergency management for children with medical complexity, embedded in a patient's electronic health record for access by providers in an emergency. Patients/families will have digital access to the ECAP and be given a paper copy. The patient's care team and caregiver(s) (parent/legal guardian) will collaborate to create an individualized ECAP containing the following content: caregiver contact information, patient summary, anticipated emergency presentations with suggested management, problem list (emergency relevant only), medication list, technology dependence, baseline important physical exam findings, baseline vital signs, allergies, advance directive information, contact information for established care providers, and other important information.
