## What is IBD?

The Emily Center en Phoenix Children's Hospital presenta Nuestro Camino y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal: un instrumento que brinda a las familias de niños con esta enfermedad la información que necesitan para cuidarlos de forma segura en el hogar. 

Cuando los niños están en un hospital o una clínica, los padres podrían sentirse agobiados cuando los médicos y enfermeros hablan con palabras médicas difíciles. Algunas veces, los profesionales de la salud creen que hablan claro pero no se fijan si los pacientes comprenden sus indicaciones. Si usted puede repetir en sus propias palabras la información que le enseñan, entonces estará seguro de que comprendió.

La aplicación Nuestro Camino y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal ha sido diseñada para:

- Facilitar la comunicación entre las familias y el equipo de atención médica.
- Ayudar a los padres a entender qué deben saber para atender al niño en forma segura en la casa.
- Dar a los padres un espacio para admitir que no saben o no comprenden lo que se les dice, y para hacer preguntas.
- Orientar a las familias sobre qué información necesitan decir o mostrar al enfermero o médico. 
 De este modo, el profesional de la salud puede confirmar que la familia recibió la información correcta, que pueden brindar los cuidados necesarios, y corrigen malentendidos.
- Ayudar a las familias a sentirse confiadas de que podrán cuidar al niño en la casa después del alta, conocer los signos de posibles problemas y saber cómo responder.

The Emily Center, Phoenix Children's Hospital
Fundado en 1990, el centro honra con su nombre a Emily Anderson. Emily luchó contra una rara forma de leucemia durante cuatro años y murió algunos días antes de cumplir 17 años.

Frustrados por la falta de información fácil de entender sobre la enfermedad de Emily, los padres fundaron The Emily Center para que las familias de los niños enfermos siempre pudieran recibir información de salud pediátrica precisa, fácil de entender y gratuita para las familias de Arizona. http://www.emilycenter.org y en Twitter @emilycenter.

La aplicación Nuestro Camino y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal recibió un subsidio de Cox.
