Background And Objectives: Performance of minor procedures is highly variable among pediatric hospitalists. Our objective was to describe procedural frequency and measure self-assessed competence in recommended minor procedures among practicing hospitalists.
Methods: An electronic survey was administered across 20 US institutions.
Article Synopsis
- - The American Board of Medical Specialties established Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) as a subspecialty for certification in 2016, leading to the development of a comprehensive PHM board review course in response to the need for exam prep materials, offered both in-person and online.
- - The course content aligned with the American Board of Pediatrics certification exam outline and utilized national experts for lectures and a question bank, while effectiveness was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick Model, focusing on exam pass rates, participant learning, and satisfaction.
- - Results showed high estimated pass rates (89% in-person and 93% online) and strong participant knowledge retention, but feedback suggested the need for expanded question banks, a focus on essential content, and improved
Background And Objective: Previous local quality improvement focused on discharging patients with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) "in-hand" decreased healthcare reutilization after hospitalization for an asthma exacerbation. However, as a result of these new processes, some patients admitted for an asthma exacerbation received more than one ICS inhaler during their admission, contributing to medication waste and potential patient confusion regarding their discharge medication regimen. We sought to decrease this waste.

- Health care systems are shifting towards high-value care (HVC), and medical training needs to incorporate principles of HVC to improve patient outcomes using evidence-based methods.
- A case-based curriculum was developed to teach HVC principles through six common pediatric scenarios, piloted at four teaching hospitals, with participants providing positive feedback on its usefulness and relevance.
- The implementation of this curriculum was well received, suggesting that it effectively engages medical trainees; future efforts will focus on tracking long-term impacts and developing assessment tools for HVC-related behaviors.
