How Does the PICU Transition Patients to Other Levels of Care?
Once a child's condition stabilizes, the PICU team works on a transition plan to move the patient to a less intensive level of care, such as a general pediatric ward or home care with outpatient follow-up. This transition involves careful coordination to ensure continuity of care and to address any ongoing medical needs. The team provides education and resources to the family to prepare them for the next steps in their child's recovery.
