Introduction[edit | edit source]
The term complexity comes from the Latin word "complexus" and it means something twisted and made up of many interdependent parts[1]The definition of children with medical complexity (CMC) is unclear, however, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau defines it as any child or youth affected or at risk of having a pathology capable of affecting neurologic development, chronic behavioral or emotional problems, and who need more intensive healthcare.
