Grant Activity:
There's no place like home: national scale up of the paediatric low risk febrile neutropenia program
Purpose:
Children undergoing cancer treatment are at an increased risk of infection. This is managed by hospital admission for antibiotics which can be disruptive for the child and their family and expensive for the healthcare system. While many need admission, almost half can be safely managed at home. This project will scale up a program for home-based management of fever in children with cancer at low risk for infection. This program is proven to improve quality of life and decreases costs of care.
