CARE COORDINATION | UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO'S DIVISION OF SPECIALIZED CARE FOR CHILDREN
DSCC guides families through their child's journey with a medical condition. Works with doctors, schools and community groups to create a seamless support system.
DSCC's care coordination team works together with families to develop a plan of care that addresses a child's medical, social, behavioral, educational and financial needs. Care coordination is free for all children who have eligible medical conditions, regardless of their family's income level.
Care coordination can include finding specialized medical care, helping families understand their child's diagnosis and medical treatment plan, explaining insurance benefits and attending school meetings.
Helps children who are medically fragile remain in their family home rather than a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
