| Consumer Summary: | KEY POINTS: QUESTION: Does care coordination improve quality-of-life outcomes in children with chronic noncomplex medical conditions (non-CMCs) and their families? FINDING In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 81 children, care coordination significantly improved overall child, overall family, and family functioning quality-of-life outcomes at 12 months after diagnosis. MEANING: In this randomized clinical trial, care coordination improved the quality of life of children with non-CMCs and their families, and an orientation among health services to provide such a coordination model could lead to longer-term improved clinical outcomes. |
