TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Care of NICU Graduates: Role of the Primary Care Provider A1 - Malcolm, William F. PY - 2015 T2 - Beyond the NICU: Comprehensive Care of the High-Risk Infant AB - The primary care provider (PCP) has a unique role to play in the care of medically complex infants who have been discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. These children are often followed by many subspecialists, as well as therapists, and receive a multitude of services depending on their individual special needs. The PCP has the unique opportunity to consolidate care, helping reduce subspecialty and emergency department visits, and serve as a “point” provider, minimizing confusion and communication errors between providers and families. This, in turn, may help families better understand the “big picture” of their child's condition.
