When your child requires a stay at the hospital due to a general pediatric health issue, Children's Hospital Boston has a team of physicians who provide dedicated coverage, and who regularly treat and manage inpatient general pediatric cases. In years past, the model at many hospitals would have been to have specialists from different areas of medicine rotate on and off the service. CHIPS provides full-time, inpatient general pediatric coverage.
Community physicians often choose to admit patients through our program because we're able to provide continuous attending-level care with general pediatric expertise, while also having in-house access to the many resources and specialists at Children's. What's more, we stay in close communication with your referring physician throughout your child's hospitalization.
