Variation in Treatment of Pediatric Tuberculosis Infection in Different Provider Settings.

Objectives: To evaluate implementation of rifamycin-based regimens (RBR) for pediatric tuberculosis infection (TBI) treatment among 3 provider settings in a high-incidence county.

Study Design: A multicenter, retrospective observational study was performed across 3 sites in Los Angeles County: an academic center (AC), a general pediatrics federally qualified health center (FQHC), and department of public health (DPH) tuberculosis clinics. Patients initiated on TBI treatment age 1 months to 17 years between 2018 and 2020 were included.

ECHO Autism: Integrating Maintenance of Certification with Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes Improves Developmental Screening.

Objective: Recent estimates indicate that most pediatricians do not consistently meet the American Academy of Pediatrics developmental screening guidelines, contributing to the delay of vital evaluations and interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our objective was to evaluate the utility of Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Quality Improvement (QI) training designed to improve developmental screening rates in underserved, rural primary care practices. Trainings on best screening practices were disseminated to primary care providers (PCPs) through Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Autism, a virtual learning network.
