🌟 Pediatricians Harness EHR for Accurate Infant Growth Evaluations 🌟 In a groundbreaking study, pediatricians are leveraging Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to enhance the accuracy of infant growth assessments during well-child visits. 📊👶 Key Insights: - Collaborative Assessments: EHRs facilitate seamless interactions between healthcare providers and parents, combining professional data with parental observations. - Hierarchy of Knowledge: The study reveals a trend where EHR data is prioritized over parental insights, establishing a clear hierarchy in consultations. - Impact on Care Dynamics: While this enhances precision and accountability in pediatric care, it may lead parents to feel their observations are undervalued. As we embrace technology in healthcare, it’s crucial to balance data-driven assessments with the invaluable insights parents provide. 🤝💡 Discover how this integration is shaping the future of pediatric care! 👉 Click the link for more details! #Collaboration #EHR #HealthcareInnovation #InfantHealth #Pediatrics #Publications #RegulatoryAgencies #MarketAccess #MarketAccessToday

Insightful article Our healthcare system does not support pediatric care as it should. Drs. Satyan Lakshminrusimha, David Lubarsky, @Rhae Gamber & @Sherin Devaskar nicely highlight the significant issues associated with the current state of #Pediatric #Healthcare, focusing on reimbursement which is a cause for many downstream issues. It is an article filled with solid and important information and a call to action. https://lnkd.in/g8ZNkYQT More than half of babies less than 34 weeks, the most fragile and care complex newborns, are covered by Medicaid across the U.S. There is disparity as more than half of Black, Hispanic, native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian, Alaskan native babies covered by Medicaid in the NICUs across the U.S.. Fee for service (FFS) is the most common form of reimbursement for providing NICU (many have rightfully so pointed out that this is a perverse payment model). In many cases FFS reimbursement rates do not cover the cost of an NICU hospitalization and are below payment rates for comparable Medicare services. The authors highlight the impact that low reimbursement for nonprocedural, cognitive-based specialties is having on Pediatric subspecialty access-- a trend that appears to be worsening with recent data demonstrating a decrease in residents matching in various pediatric subspecialties. For the recent pediatric subspecialty match in 2023, there were unfilled fellowship positions. 56% genetics, 47% nephrology, 52% ID (among many others) slots were unfilled. That is an alarming percent for specialties that fill a very necessary role if we are to provide the best care possible to newborns and children. I do disagree with one of their statements that "supply-demand will increase pediatric subspecialty salaries over time." I do not think that physician salaries lies within a truly competitive market that would follow the laws of supply and demand. We also need to be aware of the fact that Pediatric care access, both inpatient & outpatient, is decreasing over the past decade and really accelerated during the Pandemic when many Pediatric beds were converted to adult beds which have not transitioned back because more $ can be made from a adult occupying a bed than a child. Many community hospitals have closed their small, but important Pediatric units. Rural & critical access hospitals have closed with many teetering. Access to Pediatric primary care is becoming more limited, especially in those unfortunate patients with Medicaid coverage (which is a majority)-- creating widening and disheartening Pediatric Care deserts across the U.S. Their take-home message: "Increased Medicaid reimbursement is critical to the sustainability of high-quality pediatric subspecialty workforce that is family-centered, timely, effective, efficient, equitable." #UsingWhatWeHaveBetter

🚨 Germany Takes Bold Steps to Tackle Pediatrician Shortages! 🚨 On January 16, 2025, Germany’s Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss (G-BA) approved crucial updates to the Bedarfsplanungs-Richtlinie aimed at enhancing healthcare for children and adolescents. 🔍 Key Highlights: - New criteria for identifying pediatrician shortages: A shortage is now recognized when supply falls below 25% of projected demand. - The threshold for declaring a shortage has been raised from under 50% to below 75%, aligning pediatric care with primary care standards. - No additional bureaucratic burdens on healthcare providers—streamlined processes ensure focus on addressing shortages. These revisions promise a more responsive healthcare system, enabling quicker interventions and improved access to specialized care. Families and communities will benefit from enhanced health outcomes as the pipeline of qualified pediatricians is strengthened. 📅 The changes take effect immediately upon publication in the Bundesanzeiger (Federal Gazette), marking a significant advancement in pediatric healthcare delivery. Let's support these vital changes that prioritize our children's health! #ChildHealth #GBA #Germany #Healthcare #HealthcarePolicyandRegulation #Pediatrics #PolicyChange #RegulatoryAgencies #MarketAccess #MarketAccessToday
