Abstract

Abstract This clinical case report describes and analyzes an experience of prolonged child hospital discharge in a public hospital based on the harmonic action of a multidisciplinary health team. In addition to a literature review, a descriptive and exploratory qualitative study using bibliographic and documentary research techniques was conducted via a retrospective survey in medical records. The results were discussed based on three categories: physical, social, psychological and ethical vulnerabilities of disabling chronic conditions; multidisciplinary teamwork in deinstitutionalization; and home care health policies. We concluded that the process reduced hospitalization time and the number of future hospitalizations, reduced expenses to the health system and reinserted the patient into their community and family environment, thus providing better system structuring and humanized care centered on the individual and family.
