Chronically ill, technology dependent children deserve a more normalized environment than can be provided in an acute hospital setting. Children's Hospital, Inc., Columbus, Ohio, Northland Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and the State of Ohio Department of Human Services collaborated to design a pilot project that would meet the needs of these children in a cost-effective way. The project serves as a model for regionalizing services and containing health care costs while providing the most appropriate home-like environment for these special children.
患有慢性病且依赖技术的儿童理应拥有比急症医院环境所能提供的更为正常化的环境。俄亥俄州哥伦布市的儿童医院、北国露台护理与康复中心以及俄亥俄州公共服务部合作设计了一个试点项目，该项目将以具有成本效益的方式满足这些儿童的需求。该项目为服务区域化和控制医疗成本树立了典范，同时为这些特殊儿童提供了最为适宜的类似家庭的环境。
