Authors' objectives:
This research examined the impact of introducing and expanding children's community nursing (CCN) services on quality, acute care and costs.
Authors' recommendations:
Large, generic CCN teams that integrate acute admission avoidance for all children with support for children with complex conditions and highly targeted teams for children with complex conditions offer the possibility of supporting children more appropriately at home while also making some difference to acute activity. This possibility remains to be tested further.
