Abstract: Spina bifida is one of the most common birth defects, affecting approximately 3 per 10,000 live births in the United States annually. Providing care for people who are born with spina bifida is complex and challenging. Multiple physicians and many other professionals and services are involved regularly in addressing the many medical and non-medical issues that these individuals and their families face. Care coordination has been utilized for individuals with complex health conditions such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, and has been found to be beneficial for assisting patients and their families. However, a limited number of empirical studies have examined care coordination within the spina bifida clinic setting. The proposed data collection will use qualitative methods to 1) examine the extent to which care coordination in spina bifida clinics is perceived to be effective; 2) identify perceived barriers to providing care coordination in spina bifida clinics; and 3) identify potential best practices related to providing care coordination in spina bifida clinics.
