Feasibility of the Implementation of the SPARKLe Nurse-led Integrated Transitional Care Model for Children With Complex Care Needs
Sponsor: University Children's Hospital, Zurich
Summary
Children with complex care needs often experience fragmented care during transitions from hospital to home, leading to unmet needs and increased burden on families. The SPARKLe project aims to address this gap through a nurse-led integrated transitional care model. This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing the SPARKLe model in a real-world hospital setting using a mixed-methods design, focusing on implementation outcomes including feasibility, acceptability, adoption, and fidelity.
