Our life at home: Photos from families inform discharge planning for medically complex children

Background: Infants with medical complexity are increasingly cared for at home, creating unique challenges for their caregivers. The sickest of these are those with chronic critical illness (CCI). These infants’ medical fragility and resource‐intensive needs puts them at increased risk for suboptimal transitions from hospital‐ to home‐based care. It is unclear whether, and if so, to what extent clinicians gather and use knowledge of a family's home context during discharge planning.
