prac Sustainability of a Parental Tobacco Control Intervention in Pediatric Practice By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-10-20T00:06:36-07:00 Parental smoking cessation helps eliminate children’s exposure to tobacco smoke. A child’s visit to the doctor provides a teachable moment for parental smoking cessation. Effective strategies to help parents quit smoking are available for implementation.Evidence-based outpatient intervention for parents who smoke can be delivered successfully after the initial implementation. Maximizing parental quit rates in the pediatric context will require more complete and sustained systems-level integration. (Read the full article) Full Article
prac Regulations to Promote Healthy Sleep Practices in Child Care By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-11-10T00:06:19-08:00 Previous studies have examined state regulations for child care facilities and found substantial variation among states. None of these studies examined regulations related to healthy sleep practices, which is an important and often overlooked intervention target for obesity prevention.We reviewed state regulations related to healthy sleep in child care and compared them to recent national recommendations put forth by the Institute of Medicine. We found that many states lacked regulations, highlighting an important and timely opportunity for improvement. (Read the full article) Full Article
prac Strategic Modeling of the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Workforce By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-01-26T00:05:25-08:00 The number of nurse practitioner graduates in the United States has nearly doubled over the past 2 decades. However, the number of pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) graduates has remained relatively flat, although the demand for PNPs is expected to increase.This study estimates the best-case shortage of PNPs over the next 25 years. We propose possible policy interventions to address key areas of the PNP workforce system and we compute their impact on the forecasted PNP shortage. (Read the full article) Full Article
prac A Comparison of Individual- Versus Practice-Level Measures of the Medical Home By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-02-02T00:05:27-08:00 Medical home transformation is led by practice-level assessment, but much of the evidence supporting the medical home derives from individual-level assessment based on parental perception. The association between these 2 levels of assessment is unknown.Among Boston-area community health centers, there was no association between the individual- and practice-level assessments of the medical home. This highlights the need for studies supporting the child health benefits of medical home practice transformation. (Read the full article) Full Article

prac An Early Feeding Practices Intervention for Obesity Prevention By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-06-08T00:07:18-07:00 "Protective" complementary feeding practices that promote self-regulation of intake and development of healthy food preferences have been positively associated with healthy child eating patterns and growth. There are few high-quality trials evaluating feeding practice interventions; none has reported long-term outcomes.This large randomized controlled trial demonstrates that anticipatory guidance on the "how" of complementary feeding resulted in more protective feeding practices. These intervention effects were sustained for 3 years and translated into commensurate trends in obesity risk. (Read the full article) Full Article

Population studies describing parent-child participation in interactive activities and their associations with early child development among vulnerable populations are needed.Significant disparities exist in parenting practices that promote child development between economically advantaged and disadvantaged parents. Participating in less interactive activities was associated with increased risk of developmental delay among low-income families, suggesting a need to enrich parenting practices.

prac Parent/Adolescent Weight Status Concordance and Parent Feeding Practices By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-08-24T00:07:08-07:00 Research has shown that parent feeding practices are associated with adolescent weight status and dietary intake. It is unknown whether certain factors such as parent and child weight status concordance or discordance influence parents’ use of specific feeding practices.Findings from the current study suggest that parents use the highest levels of pressure-to-eat feeding practices when parents and adolescents are both nonoverweight and the highest levels of food restriction when parents and adolescents are both overweight/obese.

prac Trends in Pediatric Malpractice Claims 1987-2015: Results From the Periodic Survey of Fellows By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2020-04-01T01:00:57-07:00 BACKGROUND: Pediatricians are less frequently sued than other physicians. When suits are successful, however, the average payout is higher. Little is known about changes in the risk of litigation over time. We sought to characterize malpractice lawsuit trends for pediatricians over time. METHODS: The Periodic Survey is a national random sample survey of American Academy of Pediatrics members. Seven surveys between 1987 and 2015 asked questions regarding malpractice (n = 5731). Bivariate and multivariable analyses examined trends and factors associated with risk and outcome of malpractice claims and lawsuits. Descriptive analyses examined potential change in indemnity amount over time. RESULTS: In 2015, 21% of pediatricians reported ever having been the subject of any claim or lawsuit, down from a peak of 33% in 1990. Report of successful outcomes in the most-recent suit trended upward between 1987 and 2015, greatest in 2015 at 58%. Median indemnity was unchanged, averaging $128 000 in 2018 dollars. In multivariate analysis, male sex, hospital-based subspecialty (neonatology, pediatric critical care, pediatric emergency medicine, and hospital medicine), longer career, and more work hours were associated with a greater risk of malpractice claim. CONCLUSIONS: From 1987 to 2015, the proportion of pediatricians sued has decreased and median indemnity has remained unchanged. Male pediatricians and hospital-based subspecialists were more likely to have been sued. Greater knowledge of the epidemiology of malpractice claims against pediatricians is valuable because it can impact practice arrangements, advise risk-management decisions, influence quality and safety projects, and provide data to guide advocacy for appropriate tort reform and future research.

prac A Centralized Approach for Practicing Genomic Medicine By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2020-03-02T01:00:55-08:00 Next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the diagnostic process, making broadscale testing affordable and applicable to almost all specialties; however, there remain several challenges in its widespread implementation. Barriers such as lack of infrastructure or expertise within local health systems and complex result interpretation or counseling make it harder for frontline clinicians to incorporate genomic testing in their existing workflow. The general population is more informed and interested in pursuing genetic testing, and this has been coupled with the increasing accessibility of direct-to-consumer testing. As a result of these changes, primary care physicians and nongenetics specialty providers find themselves seeing patients for whom genetic testing would be beneficial but managing genetic test results that are out of their scope of practice. In this report, we present a practical and centralized approach to providing genomic services through an independent, enterprise-wide clinical service model. We present 4 years of clinical experience, with >3400 referrals, toward designing and implementing the clinical service, maximizing resources, identifying barriers, and improving patient care. We provide a framework that can be implemented at other institutions to support and integrate genomic services across the enterprise. Full Article
