Background: Despite the growth of and media hype about mobile health (mHealth), there is a paucity of literature supporting the effectiveness of widespread implementation of mHealth technologies.
Objective: This study aimed to assess whether an innovative mHealth technology system with several overlapping purposes can impact (1) clinical outcomes (ie, readmission rates, revisit rates, and length of stay) and (2) patient-centered care outcomes (ie, patient engagement, patient experience, and patient satisfaction).
Methods: We compared all patients (2059 patients) of participating orthopedic surgeons using mHealth technology with all patients of nonparticipating orthopedic surgeons (2554 patients).
Introduction: Resident training has changed significantly in recent years, resulting in reduced experiences and practice. Because pediatric residents have fewer required intensive care unit (ICU) rotations, we introduced a neonatal ICU (NICU) boot camp (2014-2015) that continues today to prepare residents immediately prior to beginning an NICU rotation.
Methods: The NICU boot camp consists of three 1-hour sessions: two interactive lectures with case-based application and one hands-on, integrative learning using simulation.
Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, short neck, short stature, congenital heart defects, pectus deformities, and variable developmental delays. NS is genetically heterogeneous as pathogenic variants in several genes involved in the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway have been associated with a NS phenotype. Overall, 50% of patients harbor pathogenic variants in PTPN11, whereas 3-17% of patients have variants in RAF1.
