Abstract

Tokyo Metropolitan Children’s Medical Center opened a specialized and certified nurse-led outpatient clinic in November 2021 to provide nursing care that meets the needs of pediatric patients and their families. The nurse-led outpatient clinic for patients and families with pediatric rheumatic diseases objectively views medical treatment from the perspective of health promotion, identifies individual needs, and provides support so that they can undergo treatment life with peace of mind. In addition, in order to provide better care for patients and their families, we collaborate with other professions and practice nursing in close cooperation with them. Therefore, I present two cases of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in the specialized and certified nurse-led outpatient clinic and report my practice that meet the needs of patients and their families. I also consider the issues facing the coordination of other professions at the outpatient clinic and the improvement of the quality and expansion of the role of the outpatient clinic.
