This part of the Medhome Portal offers Physicians (and others) useful, reliable, relevant information, tools, and
resources to aid in the care of children with chronic and complex conditions. For each of the Diagnoses listed
on the left, we offer a Diagnosis Module, with materials organized under the Content Headings explained to the right.
In the Diagnosis Prevalence list you will find the reported prevalences of many chronic conditions in children,
and a calculation of the number of children with each diagnosis that would be expected in a practice the size of
yours.
Click on a Diagnosis to enter its Module (you will be taken intially to the Description, Prevalence, Authors page).
