Case 1: 6 month old ex-25wk preterm infant with h/o bronchopulmonary dysplasia, complex device needs

• ventilator dependent with tracheostomy
• s/p Nissen and g-tube: gastric-tube feedings: pediasure xx mL bolus q 4hour during day, continuous feeds 10 hours overnight

presents to (non-primary) Emergency Department with fever & respiratory distress

• detail device characteristics

-show care in medical home (capture details, preferences) --> how care plan is developed -show use in external/less familiar environments -mechanisms for updating information.

Case 2: 9 yr old with pervasive developmental disorder, seizure disorder, food aversion, struggles with weight gain

• capture food preference (textures) for patient in record -- at primary provider appointment
• show review of preference in at Camp or in School
• contingency plan (i.e., if seizures, consider increasing phenobarbital dose…. may give load IV or enterally)

• Pre-camp visit
• -review of food preferences
• -medication and problem list review

• Form review
• -render in browser
