Abstract

Takeaways:

• CHAMP is a single ventricle interstage application for home monitoring that transcends the organization by integrating the standardization of ambulatory care across the continuum and reduces events in this high-risk population.
• Communication and integrated support, including clinical and information technology staff, are a significant part of the continued success of this program.
• CHAMP is now used in numerous hospitals across the United States with technology and equipment support from the Claire Giannini Foundation and for implementation at a multi-site level from the 2016 ANCC Magnet Prize, sponsored by Cerner.
