Brightspots: What Works In Health Care

Utilizing Pediatric Referral Guidelines for Collaborative Obesity and Diabetes Care

Informações:

Synopsis

There is evidence that variability exists in pediatric subspecialty use, and it can be difficult for primary and specialty care providers to collaboratively manage patient care.  In an effort to improve collaboration and co-management, the MMP Pediatric Specialists have created over 30 referral guidelines that provide both education and decision-support for common conditions.  In this webinar, Dr. Mike Dedekian will present two referral guideline examples related to pediatric obesity and diabetes.  By the end, you will have an understanding on how to read and best utilize the guidelines, when to refer, as well as how you can co-manage your patient’s condition with their pediatric specialist.
