The highest standards in connecting your child’s care

Managing your child’s health can sometimes feel overwhelming – especially during a hospital discharge, ongoing treatment for a chronic illness, or dealing with unmet social needs. Our Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) approach makes care easily accessible and family-centered, putting the family and patient at the center of care. This ensures your child’s care is continuous, comprehensive, and culturally competent. Pediatric Associates is also accredited as a Medical Home by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). This accreditation honors the fact that we adopt best practices and comply with nationally recognized standards of pediatric care.

Ensuring continuity of care

Whether your child is recovering from a hospital stay, managing asthma or diabetes, or needs help connecting with community resources, the Care Management team at Pediatric Associates is here to guide you.

Collaborating closely with your pediatrician, our team specializes in creating individual care plans that ensure your child’s medical needs will continue to be met. A big part of that is ongoing communication between you and your child’s care team. Care coordinators and referral specialists help track referrals, follow up on pending test results, and more – all within your medical home.

Like having a medical assistant at home

Many families are juggling jam-packed schedules, work commitments, and other children. As part of your primary care team, the Care Management team helps ensure that any post-discharge instructions are followed, medications are reviewed, and appointments with specialists are scheduled on time.

We also help facilitate communication between your child’s care providers and assist you with transitions between different care settings – such as bringing your child from the hospital to home. With the Care Management team in your corner, you can focus less on behind-the-scenes details and more on helping your child feel better.

What is managed care, and how does your child benefit from it?

Our patient Care Management program is designed to avoid any gaps in your child’s care by proactively guiding families through complex medical or social circumstances. Working together with you, our team of medical assistants, nurses, social workers, and care coordinators helps ensure smoother transitions, timely follow-ups, and better outcomes.

Addressing barriers to care

The social workers on our Care Management team work to identify and address any barriers to care your family might have, such as lack of transportation, food insecurity, or mental health needs.

We accomplish this by connecting families to trusted resources in their community that they can contact for assistance. If you are feeling overwhelmed or alone, let our Care Management team try to help ease the burden.
