Big news! Child Life On Call will be at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference next week in Washington D.C., and we can't wait to share our game-changing app for parents and families. As Carla Laos, MD, PEM, puts it: "Parents need this. Kids need this. I need this." Our app is designed to be a lifeline for families navigating the healthcare journey, offering everything from coping plans, podcast episodes to educational materials and more. But we know that for this tool to reach its full potential, it needs champions within the healthcare system. That's where pediatricians like you come in. Your advocacy can be the key that unlocks a world of resources for families in need. Pediatricians have a unique position of influence, both in institutions and private practices. By advocating for equitable child life services, you can help ensure that every family has access to the emotional and educational support they deserve. It's not just about prescribing medicine; it's about prescribing hope. When pediatricians stand up for child life services, the ripple effect is enormous. Your interest in child life services can lead to more staffing, better resources, and ultimately, happier, healthier families. That's why we're so excited to connect with you at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference. Together, we can turn the tide and make healthcare a more compassionate and comprehensive experience for all. Let's join forces to make healthcare better, one family at a time. We're thrilled to meet you at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference #aap2024 next week. Come to booth 725 to download our app and learn more about how CLOC can be a game-changer for your practice and the families you serve.

I'm encouraged to see more conversations around value-based care in Pediatrics. This interview with Amanda Furr, M.D. at Pediatric Associates calls out some interesting points on implementing value-based care at scale. The first point made about the ability for a larger organization to be successful in value-based care vs. a small pediatric group hold merit, but I fear it discourages pediatricians from exploring their options for diving into value-based care. Sure, being a one or two pediatrician practice doesn't allow for a great starting point, but you don't have to join a massive pediatric group to be successful in VBC. A comprehensive population health tool is a great thing to have but isn't a necessity to success. In value-based care, the MCOs are incentivized to help you do your best. Leaning on them for data and insights on what to do is a great way to build your foundation to making a decent surplus to invest in a technology in year 2-4 of your value-based care journey. In addition, a lot of EMRs offer options to get you started on some basic care management documentation and workflows for the areas of cost that you need to manage most. It is fine to start there and see how it goes before jumping in the deep end with a population health tool. I was happy to see that they are really digging in on a Behavioral Health strategy as we know that need will grow. The scalability of a successful program is key there, and that is something a group like Pediatric Associates has. Two elements I am surprised that aren't mentioned include access and adolescent pregnancies/NICUs. Yes, telehealth is a piece of access, but a simple change that can make a difference for a pediatric office is offering evening and weekend appointments. Well child checks are key in being successful as that is where most of your quality measures are closed, and they help to build trust with your patients (Sounds a lot like pushing for AWVs in the adult world, am I right?) For homes with working parents (which is most), this can be a game changer and can draw patients to your practice. The next is adolescent pregnancies/NICUs. I have been chatting with some Medicaid experts, and it has become clear to me the connection between adolescent pregnancies to NICU panel assignments. Typically, a pediatric office stops seeing a patient during a pregnancy, which makes sense, but what if pediatricians maintained that relationship throughout the pregnancy via a care management resource to ensure that adolescent has the support she needs for a healthy pregnancy? Sounds like a strategy for less NICU babies, and I know there are some amazing companies out there focused on this exact initiative. Overall, I'm excited that the VBC narrative is coming into play in the pediatric space. With a little guidance and support pertaining to contracting, cost management, and access, many pediatric groups can achieve success without giving up control of their practice.

Transforming Pediatric Healthcare: Embracing Value-Based Care and Evidence-Based Medicine In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the shift towards value-based care (VBC) is more than a trend—it’s a necessary evolution, especially in the realm of pediatrics. As healthcare professionals, we are guardians of the most vulnerable: our children. It’s our duty to ensure that every procedure, every treatment, and every decision we make is grounded in solid evidence and tailored to the unique needs of our young patients. 🌟 Why Pediatric-Specific VBC? Pediatric care is distinct and complex. Children are not just small adults; they have specific developmental and health needs that require specialized attention. A value-based approach in pediatrics means designing healthcare models that prioritize outcomes and value over volume, ensuring that children receive the right care at the right time—nothing less, nothing more. 🔍 The Call for Removing Non-EBM Work In our pursuit of excellence, it’s crucial to identify and eliminate process-driven work that lacks evidence-based backing and fails to improve care. This not only streamlines our efforts but also redirects our resources towards interventions that truly make a difference in the health and well-being of children. 📈 The Impact of EBM in Pediatrics Evidence-based medicine is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s a personalized approach that combines the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. By embracing EBM, we can move away from outdated, “cookbook” medicine and towards innovative, individualized care plans that are both effective and efficient. Let’s join hands in redefining pediatric healthcare. Together, we can build a system that is compassionate, evidence-driven, and truly value-based. Our children deserve no less.

I believe CHILDREN are our future. So does the American Academy of Pediatrics. Why is the US #Healthcare system not treating our future (children) better, kindly, and fairly (compared to adults)? Over the past decade, the availability of inpatient Pediatric care has shrunk by 10-15% as Pediatric units close in community hospitals and Pediatric hospitals find it more and more difficult to keep their doors open and some close--- See Tufts. All the while, the need for inpatient pediatric care persists, especially for mental health care which is woefully limited. The hospitals that have maintained inpatient Pediatric care are increasingly transferring patients with conditions that that would have cared for a decade ago to academic medical centers as their ability to care for even common Pediatric conditions is decreasing. Our national Pediatric graduate medical education governing body has made recent decisions that will even further diminish clinical experiences for pediatric residents, especially those experiences in critical care units (where young physicians learn the skill of being able to identify "sick" from "not sick" and what a critical illness course looks like), during their training. So there will be (is) a "skilled enough" physician supply issue. There already is an inpatient capacity issue (which will only continue to worsen as adult inpatient reimbursement rates remain substantially higher than for pediatric patients). Reimbursement rates for Pediatricians and Pediatric subspecialists are significantly less than their adult Medicine physician counterparts in the same subspecialty. We are creating Pediatric Care deserts --- decreasing access, delaying care, and will drive up costs as monopolies emerge. We need to work with state legislation and advocacy groups urgently to reverse these trends. https://lnkd.in/giqSrB6i

#AdvocateDad | Co-Developer | Colorado-Based Advocate for Special Education and Accessibility, Expert in Low Vision & Blindness Solutions, and IDEA Specialist | Bespoke Advocate
Western Slope Pediatrics, you've just committed a serious oversight that needs immediate rectification. My daughter arrived this morning for her physical just seven minutes past her appointment time. She was eager to discuss her significant progress with her pediatrician of over ten years. Instead, she was halted by two receptionists and informed she needed to reschedule. This is unacceptable. We need to talk about this rigid policy that fails to account for the unpredictability of life. How many times have we, as a family, waited due to your overbooking or been inconvenienced by doctors being pulled for other commitments? It's time for a policy update that reflects your patients' real-world circumstances. Primary Care Partners will be hearing a detailed account of this incident, and rest assured, it will require action. My daughter had autonomously planned her day's schedule, including preparing points she wanted to discuss with her doctor. The disappointing part is that she feels responsible for this unfortunate situation, which couldn't be further from the truth. Systems need to be patient-centric, flexible, and, most of all, compassionate. We are a punctual family; my military upbringing has instilled the principle that "early is on time." However, life happens, and your current policies do not reflect this reality. It's clear that systemic issues in healthcare extend even to our local valley, and it appears that I've just been handed another advocacy project. While I'm more than prepared to tackle this, it's disheartening to encounter such barriers in what should be straightforward medical care.

Vaccinated against COVID-19 | Thoughts and opinions expressed are my own, and do not reflect those of the AAP.
Pediatrics in Review has opened access to the July article, "Advocacy and Child Health Outcomes: Do Child Health Professionals Realize Their Opportunities?" by Past AAP President Dave Tayloe, Jr, MD, FAAP. Please download, read, and share with your colleagues! https://lnkd.in/gY8yyFAn "Over the decades, pediatric care has improved health of children by treating disease, advancing immunizations, and improving surgery and pharmacotherapy. The future of pediatrics will be the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the prevention of disease for all children. What follows is an 'advocacy primer,' written by a former AAP president who became an advocate for children as he developed his clinical practice, first treating the individual and then, the community."
