Thanks to the magic of technology, I was able to listen to ACGME Vice President for Wellbeing Dr. Stuart Slavin give grand rounds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Pediatrics this morning. This point really resonated with me: We are all co-creators of our culture. Yes, the system is broken. No, we don't have to be miserable while we work to fix it. We can choose to foster more helpful mindsets and behaviors in order to create ripples of change in our own workplaces. #physicianwellness #physicianburnout #physicianleadership #wellbeingatwork #mindsetmatters #mindsetshift #gme

This is for all the pediatricians out there, those whom I know and those whom I have yet to meet. You are important and valued and worthy and priceless as are the children you care for. "While a healthy childhood does not guarantee a healthy adulthood, an unhealthy childhood certainly makes a healthy adulthood less likely. If society wants healthy adults for the future of the country, the children of today need a physician workforce to count on. The country needs pediatricians. We ask you to think of that child you love and to advocate for changes that support the sustainability of pediatrics care. We know so deeply that these children’s lives have value. Let us back that with policy." #dignity #dignityofwork #children #policy #leadership

Sharing insights from MedCity News by Hari Prasad, CEO of Yosi Health. In this article, Hari underscores the importance of understanding the evolving landscape of consent in pediatric care amongst teenagers. Pediatricians navigate the complexities of consent with teen patients, respecting autonomy within state regulations and varied parental roles. Protecting adolescent confidentiality builds crucial trust between teen patients and their providers, especially during these formative years. Advanced technologies help pediatricians facilitate secure, direct communication, prioritizing patient privacy and legal compliance. By better supporting pediatricians and ensuring correct consent protocols, along with establishing trustworthy confidential communication channels, we ensure improved care and health outcomes for our teens. #YosiHealth #HealthcarePrivacy #HealthTech #PediatricCare #TeenHealth https://lnkd.in/eM8wwGtC

I was very pleased to contribute to a just-published manuscript led by Elizabeth Bloemen, MD, MPH describing a new medical specialist: the elder abuse geriatrics clinician. Elder mistreatment, including elder abuse and neglect, is a difficult diagnosis to make and manage for most providers. To address this, two elder abuse consultation teams were developed for patients in the hospital and emergency department settings. As these teams have developed, the providers, including Elizabeth, me, and many of the co-authors, involved have developed a specialized scope of practice that includes forensic evaluation, evaluation of cognition and capacity, care coordination and advocacy for victims of abuse, and collaboration with protective services and law enforcement. #elderabuse #geriatrics The role is depicted in this figure.

Trauma-free care for sick children Drawing blood, inserting an IV, or looking into the ear; even seemingly simple medical procedures can cause anxiety, pain, and stress in children. According to pediatric intensivist Piet Leroy, comfort and trust are just as important as the medical treatment itself. He is researching how healthcare providers can offer trauma-free care and how they can learn to apply comfort care. "A sick child doesn't understand why an examination or treatment is necessary, and will resist," explains Leroy. "Soon, the situation escalates because healthcare providers want to thoroughly examine and treat the child. However, being restrained just once to look into their ears can be a very unpleasant experience for a child that they will remember."
