Coordination of care is a central element for children with CP. Medical informatics, machine learning, and big data approaches provide unique insights into care delivery to inform approaches to improve outcomes for children with CP. What this paper adds Seven primary clusters of care were identified: musculoskeletal and function; neurological; high-frequency/urgent care services; procedures; comorbid diagnoses; development and behavioral; and primary care. The in-person to care coordination visit ratio was 1:5 overall for healthcare encounters. Most interactions with care teams occur outside of in-person visits. The ratio of in-person to care coordination activities differ by specialty.
