The Joint Commission requires freestanding children’s hospitals to report compliance with 3 Children’s Asthma Care quality measures. High compliance with these measures should result in decreased admissions and emergency department visits.Implementation of a standardized care process model for hospitalized asthmatic children resulted in high compliance with all 3 measures. Measures 1 and 2 did not provide an opportunity for improvement. Compliance with measure 3 resulted in significant decreases in readmission. (Read the full article) Full Article

No previous study has sought to examine the readability, suitability, and content of asthma action plans within a nationally representative sample.Although variability was found across written asthma action plans, and improvements in readability, suitability, and content are needed, there were also many common elements that would support a move to a single universal standard action plan.

read Preventability of Early Readmissions at a Children's Hospital By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-12-10T00:07:56-08:00 There is widespread belief that many hospital readmissions in adults are avoidable by improvements in care and discharge planning processes, resulting in significant cost savings; however, current studies have not examined the preventability of such readmissions in children’s hospitals.The overall rate of pediatric 15-day readmissions considered to be preventable was low, less than 2% of total hospital admissions. Pediatric readmissions are unlikely to serve as a highly productive focus for cost savings or quality measurement. (Read the full article) Full Article

Asthma is a common and frequent reason for pediatric hospitalization. It is unknown whether having a quality medical home can prevent readmission in children hospitalized for asthma exacerbations.Poor access to a medical home was associated with increased readmission for asthma, whereas other measured aspects of medical home were not. Children with private insurance and good access to care had the lowest rates of readmission within a year. (Read the full article) Full Article

read Early Readmission of Newborns in a Large Health Care System By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2013-04-08T00:06:54-07:00 Early readmission of apparently healthy newborns may result from inadequate assessment of a newborn’s readiness for discharge. Knowledge of the frequency, causes, and variation in the rate of newborn readmissions may assist in developing quality improvement interventions.Feeding problems and jaundice, both potentially preventable, are the leading causes of readmission. Late preterm and early term newborns are more likely to be readmitted and should have close follow-up after discharge from a well baby nursery. (Read the full article) Full Article

Hospital resource utilization and readmission rates for DKA across the US are not known.Readmission for DKA within a year of hospitalization is common, accounting for one-fifth of all DKA admissions.

However, it is unknown whether readmission rates vary meaningfully across hospitals and how many hospitals would be identified as high- or low-performers.Only a few hospitals that care for children are high- or low-performers when their condition-specific revisit rates are compared with average rates across hospitals. This limits the usefulness of condition-specific readmission or revisit measures in pediatric quality measurement. (Read the full article) Full Article

School readiness has been identified as a potentially useful clinical framework for early detection of those at greatest risk. However, evidence to support its predictive validity is limited.VPT preschoolers are at risk of impairment across the 5 American Academy of Pediatrics school readiness domains. The number of domains affected predicted likelihood of later learning problems, supporting the utility of schoolreadiness frameworks for identifying children needing surveillance and/or support.

read Early Discharge of Infants and Risk of Readmission for Jaundice By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2015-01-12T00:05:27-08:00 Studies examining early postnatal discharge and readmission for jaundice report conflicting results. Infants born 37 to 38 weeks’ gestation have an increased risk for readmission for jaundice; however, the impact of early discharge on this group has not been investigated.Early postnatal discharge was significantly associated with readmission for jaundice. Of the infants discharged early, those born 37 to 38 weeks’ gestation, born via vaginal delivery, born to Asian mothers, or were breastfed had the greatest risk for readmission.

Epidemiologic studies demonstrate increasing numbers of parents are choosing to delay vaccines.We demonstrate that almost all providers encounter requests to spread out vaccines in a typical month and, despite concerns, increasing numbers are agreeing to do so. Providers report many strategies in response to requests but think few are effective. (Read the full article) Full Article

However, interventions and therapies directed at eye-related functions are still available.In this cohort the majority of dyslexic children had normal results for all ophthalmic tests. These population-based data support the consensus that dyslexia is not primarily a vision problem and that vision-based therapies are not justified or likely to help.

Unplanned readmissions were associated with absence of a usual source of well and sick care but not other medical home components. Lack of parent confidence at discharge identified patients at high risk for readmissions and ED visits shortly after discharge. (Read the full article) Full Article
