Hospitals and pediatric practices are under increasing pressure to be publicly transparent about their quality and safety outcomes. The rapid growth of quality improvement initiatives and surgical outcomes in pediatric heart care has made national news headlines in recent years, demonstrating the correlation between pediatric heart surgical volumes and outcomes for kids. On today's episode we are going to discuss outcomes transparency in pediatric heart care and the work that one nonprofit has done to lead the way in data transparency.

COVID-19 & Return to Play Cardiac Screening Guidelines with Chris Rausch, MD (S4:E3) Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we will focus on when to order an ECG and other cardiac considerations for return to play after COVID-19 infection.

Approximately 35 to 45 million youth ages 6 to 18 participate in some form of athletics. As more of these young athletes return to sport amid the lingering pandemic, primary care providers are navigating new guidance about the evaluation and clearance of patients who have recovered from COVID-19. And because COVID-19 infections in pediatric patients are more likely to be asymptomatic or mild compared to adults, pediatric providers will frequently be presented with return-to play questions for patients who had asymptomatic or very mild disease.

On Season 3, Episode 56 of the podcast we covered the initial guidance on the return to sport during COVID-19.

Chris Rausch, MD is the Pediatric Cardiology Medical Director and Director of the Cardiopulmonary Exercise Laboratory at Children's Colorado and is Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Cardiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends: Resiliency with Jenny Reese, MD (S4:E2) Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

On this episode we are going to talk with Jenny Reese, MD about practical approaches to self-care and resiliency as we continue to move through this pandemic.

Societal interruptions at every turn. Working remotely. Virtual school. Financial and health uncertainties. Massive disruptions to the delivery of healthcare, including impacted volumes and private practice business. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on every aspect of our lives is apparent. As providers who have uniquely felt the impacts of these changes because of our profession, it is imperative to take time to consider our own resiliency.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic we were witnessing a fast-growing and new epidemic for pediatricians --the association between teen vaping and acute lung injury. It is not surprising that a recent study by researchers at Stanford University has shown a link between vaping and a substantially increased risk of COIVD-19 among teenagers and young adults. Today we are going to revisit the topic of EVALI – E-Cigarette or Vaping Associated Lung Injury – and the impact and of COVID-19 on teens who vape with Robin Deterding, MD.

Dr. Deterding is the Chief of Pulmonary Medicine at Children's Colorado and is Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Cold Case: Will the Flu Season be Canceled? COVID-19 Pediatric Updates with Sam Dominguez, MD (S3:E69) Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

Join our next Virtual COVID-19 Provider Town Hall

As countries in the Southern Hemisphere move through what would normally be their influenza season, early data indicates that efforts to stop COVID-19 have all but eliminated the typical viral spread of flu in those communities. These early behaviors have providers in the Americas speculating if influenza will take a similarly mild course, while others warn of a "Twindemic" dual impact of COVID-19 and influenza. In this our 21st COVID-19 podcast, we will delve into the latest epidemiology of the pandemic, how pediatricians might think about the approaching flu season and what testing to order.

Today we are fortunate to be joined once again by un-official Charting Pediatrics co-host, Dr. Sam Dominguez. Sam is a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Children's Hospital Colorado and Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
