Stronger Together
The importance of good cooperation.
The right care in the right place depends on good cooperation between transfer nurses, pediatricians and primary care pediatricians
Thanks to improved treatment methods and developments in medical home care technology, it is increasingly possible to continue pediatric treatments started in the hospital at home. This allows children to be discharged earlier and return to their familiar surroundings sooner.
Pediatric nursing care outside the hospital involves much more than simply performing reserved and high-risk procedures. The pediatric nurse also acts as an extension of hospital care and can act as the "ears" and "eyes" of the pediatrician. This collaboration is essential to allow the pediatrician to continue to have ultimate responsibility, even when the child is no longer in the hospital. This close coordination between pediatrician and pediatric nurse practitioner ensures high quality and continuity of care.

At home, it is important to empower children and parents so that the family's burden and load remain well balanced. Pediatric nursing care outside the hospital therefore also means that the pediatric nurse will always place the medical part of the care in the right context. This takes into account all four child life domains (medical, developmental, social and safety) in which the child lives.
