The goal of this open pilot is to co-design and test a clinical agenda-setting intervention in the inpatient pediatric environment. We pilot a co-designed structured agenda-setting intervention (SAS) for multi-family meetings about children with medical complexity. Our open pilot will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using the SAS during routine multidisciplinary family meetings (MFM) at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. By doing an open pilot, researchers will learn if the agenda-setting instrument and implementation process are feasible and acceptable to patients, their care partner and their clinicians.
