Clinical Communities Speaker Series: Children and Youth: Advanced Practices for the Pediatric Health Care Provider 26-MAR-2020
Program Description
The Defense Health Agency (DHA), J-7, Continuing Education Program Office (CEPO) Clinical Communities Speaker Series (CCSS) events are designed to address the professional practice gaps of our learners in order to improve the care that our health care professionals deliver. These educational series are intended to achieve results that reflect a change in skills, competence, and performance of the health care team, and patient outcomes. Collaboration occurs with the Department of Defense, several government agencies, and academic partners, and other civilian experts for recruitment of academic subject matter experts, clinicians, and researchers to present on current promising, evidence-based research and best practices, thus enhancing the overall educational experience provided to our participants. Participants are expected to apply what they learned in providing patient care individually and collaboratively as a team towards improved patient outcomes.
The topics covered offer Continued Education (CE) accredited content to all health care providers and support the full range of military operations in order to sustain the health of all those entrusted to DHA’s medical care. The event will:
- Instruct health care providers on successful implementation of relevant evidence-based and best practice strategies for the health care team.
- Demonstrate how learning new skills will improve overall readiness, health outcomes, and possibly reduce unnecessary costs.
- Engage learners in specific training and case vignettes for the application of acquired skills in instilling the importance of applying improvements in the collaborative team approach, which results in positively impacting patient care.
This event highlights current evidence-based practices, recommendations and initiatives, ethical considerations, clinical care pathways, and public health screenings related to pediatric health.
The educational content will be created by pediatric and child health care Subject Matter Experts in the ethical, research, technological, and medical domains of military and civilian health care sectors. Topics include evidence based practices for the implementation of Telemedicine services for children with special needs living in families that reside in areas with a shortage of health care provision. Pediatric pulmonary subject matter experts will explain the historic and current use trends of e-cigarettes in teen patients and provide strategies to screen for use and counsel teens and families on e-cigarette use cessation. The Madigan Army Medical Center Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Department will outline and interpret the unique challenges affecting military children with special health care needs and provide practitioners and families with specific interventions to assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
A unique and informative panel presentation has been coordinated in order to describe the epidemiology of the Human papillomavirus (HPV), provide recommendations for administering the vaccine and discuss strategies to improve HPV vaccination rates and compliance. “The Other Eight Hours” will summarize the various roles of the school nurse in the life of military communities. The utility of collaborative partnerships between military pediatric facilities and school nurses to improve the health and wellness of children will be discussed. The team of pediatric palliative care providers will enhance their knowledge of medical ethical principles that can be applied to several common patient situations. Pediatric health care providers treating youth with eating disorders will be able to distinguish between full and sub-threshold eating disorders and identify subgroups with a unique risk of acquiring eating disorders in order to implement appropriate and effective multidisciplinary treatment plans. Finally, opportunities to improve prescribing practices for the pediatric patient will be discussed.
The primary focus of this event aims to enhance the quality of patient outcomes and population health by providing advanced continuing education opportunities to improve the practice, skills, and knowledge of health care providers across the Military Health System (MHS).
