Innovating for imPACT: Pilot Study Evaluation of a Pediatric Palliative Care Transition of Care Telehealth Intervention.

Approximately 50,000 children die annually in the United States from complex medical conditions, yet only a fraction receive end-of-life services. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a novel telehealth transition of care program for pediatric palliative and end-of-life patients (imPACT). After retrospective review, a total of 27 patients were enrolled in the first year of the program, with 20% experiencing a readmission and 18% utilizing emergency/urgent care services. imPACT was successfully implemented in a geographically and racially/ethnically diverse population.
