Objectives
• Identify the evidenced-based practice
process used to develop an interdisciplinary
rooming-in standard of care.
• Describe the interdisciplinary process for
transitioning care of the child to the parent
through rooming-in.
• Define the impact of a rooming-in program as
it relates to readmission and enhanced
discharge success.

Background
• Case Management identified inconsistencies
with the discharge process in preparing the
caregiver for the transition of their medically or
psychosocially fragile child to home
• This patient population is at risk for re-admission
within 7 days of discharge due to complex care
needs and family support
• No standard criteria or procedure existed for
caregiver rooming-in:
– Assessment of when appropriate or necessary
– Procedure details
– Evaluation of caregiver readiness for discharge
PICO Question
• What is the best practice
for caregivers of medically
or psychosocially fragile
pediatric patients to
complete the rooming-in
process in preparation of
transitioning to home?

Search for Evidence
• Search Strategies:

Pediatrics
English only
No date limitations
All publication types
Search terms: rooming-in, pediatrics, medically
fragile, discharge, transition to home
• Searched:
– Pub Med, CINAHL, Cochran, National Guideline
Clearinghouse, Joanna Briggs Institute, Nursing
Consult, AAP, ANA, AWHONN, SPN, NANN
Literature Findings
Our literature search yielded
• No articles answering the PICO question –
“best practice” for rooming-in
• Several articles found supported the concept of rooming-in
• Historical articles (1980s) found
related to newborn nursery and
mother-baby rooming-in
Benchmark
• Contacted community and regional hospitals
• Listserv queries:
– American Case Management Association
– Children’s Healthcare Association (CHA)
Benchmark
• Benchmark Themes:
– Rooming-In gives caregivers a practice opportunity
using home equipment/meds, asking questions, and
trouble shooting issues in a supportive environment
– Length is up to 2 days
– Use home equipment
– Hospital monitor is used
• Policy examples from two children’s hospitals
Recommendations
• A standardized procedure should be used for
caregiver rooming-in to guide:
–
–
–
–
Criteria for rooming-in
Role expectations
Documentation
Multidisciplinary evaluation of readiness for discharge
• Discharge instructions complete before
rooming-in
• Discharge teaching complete before rooming-in
• Home equipment used during rooming-in
• Home medications administered during
rooming-in
Practice Changes
• Rooming-in procedure
• Documentation form
–

Criteria
Caregiver agreement
Nurse documentation
Final assessment
• Home medication administration
• Home equipment use policy &
waiver
Criteria
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Complex and/or chronic conditions
Technologically dependent
Neurological or developmental deficit
Surgical intervention requiring ongoing maintenance
needs
Multiple post-hospitalization medications and/or
appointments
Nutritionally compromised requiring special formula or
alternate methods of nutrition administration
Opportunity to practice child’s care, new skills, and
develop new home routines
Caregiver request
Caregiver Agreement
• Identify primary and secondary caregivers
• Define date/times of rooming-in period
• Define caregiver responsibilities related to
child’s care
– ADLs, medication administration, home equipment
use, treatments, etc.
• What caregiver needs to do if leaves child’s
room
• Signature required
Nurse Responsibility
•
•
•
•
Ensure all discharge education is complete
Review discharge instructions and provide copy
Vital signs and assessments continue
Assess and document caregiver’s progress in
their ability to provide total care for the patient
• Discontinued rooming-in if patient assessment
deteriorates
• Participate in team assessment of caregiver
readiness for home
Medication Administration
• Home Meds not given by caregiver: controlled
substances, IV solution, or injectable meds
• Caregiver obtains prescriptions and brings to hospital
• Pharmacist checks-in home medications
• Medications are stored in locked cart at bedside
• Caregiver requests medication when due and selects from
med box
• Nurse reviews and verifies correct preparation and
administration practice with the caregiver
• Nurse documents medication administered by caregiver
Home Equipment
• All home equipment will be used
• Waiver for Home Medical Equipment Use in the Hospital
– Hospital lawyer
• BioMed completes safety check
• Caregiver responsible for operating home equipment &
calling company with questions
• Patients requiring apnea/brady monitors will have double
monitors
• Back-up hospital equipment available and used when:
– Caregiver not present
– Change in patient condition
– Equipment malfunction
Documentation
• “Rooming-In Documentation Form”
– Nurse documents caregiver’s ability to provide all patient
cares as agreed upon
– Respiratory Therapist documents caregiver’s ability to
provide RT related patient cares
Evaluation
• Medical/multidisciplinary team evaluates the
caregiver’s readiness to assume cares for home
– Reviews rooming-in documentation
– Includes family/caregiver input
• Practitioner ultimately makes the final decision to
discharge
Pilot Process
• Piloted for 7 months (Mar–Oct 2012) in two
areas: Med-surgical and NICU
• Nursing Case Managers coordinated pilot and
collected feedback
• 28 patients’ caregivers completed pilot
• Revisions were made to program based on
multidisciplinary feedback
Implementation hospital-wide
October 2012
Outcomes
During first 3 months of house-wide
implementation:
• 18 patients completed rooming-in
• 2 patients were re-admitted within 7 days
– Complex medical home care patient with
young first time parents
– Fragile oxygen dependent neonate
Parent Feedback
• Very helpful to learn medication routine during
rooming-in
• Appreciated that sibling was able to stay during
rooming-in
• Dad stated that without rooming-In he potentially
would have overdosed the child’s Lasix. The
medication practiced taught him about the decimals.
• Able to learn babe’s routine including fussy periods
which may potentially decrease ED visits
• Experience helped become comfortable with complex
med administration
• Mom stated, “Couldn’t take babe home without this
practice.”
