Today, we're happy to announce Pathfinder Health is integrated into ~100 Electronic Health Records! A child's pediatrician is the #1 trusted source for most parents. By delivering developmental health information in a concise, safe and constructive manner to providers with the collaboration of parents, we're now able to get in front of thousands of clinics indirectly. Parents have always been able to actively track & monitor their child's development directly on their mobile app. Now, in collaboration with providers, Pediatricians will be able to see and understand the information they're looking for and be able to improve their decision making in a timely manner using objective developmental data they're not able to observe during a time-constrained 15-minute well-child visit. When speaking to hundreds of pediatricians, their #1 request for adoption has been, "Can I see this inside my EHR?"  Now, after months of hard work, this is a bonafide reality. A seemingly small step, but a giant milestone! As a result, families utilizing Pathfinder Health, Inc. will be able to receive better evaluations, accelerating the time to diagnosis and care, closing the big gap in developmental pediatric health that we've been working tirelessly to solve. Anybody that has worked in healthcare knows data interoperability is a problem, but now we're able to bring high quality pediatric care outside the clinic. Kudos to the entire team and partners for making this a reality! #interoperability #healthcaregaps #solvingproblems #pediatrics #developmentalhealth

Pediatricians, you're not just healers for your patients - you can be champions for change, too. Your influence within healthcare institutions and private practices can be the catalyst for more equitable child life services. As pediatricians, you're often the first point of contact for families navigating the complexities of healthcare. You have the power to advocate for resources that can make a significant difference in a child's healthcare experience. One of those invaluable resources is child life services. Your voice can turn the tide in favor of families who desperately need and deserve access to these services. When pediatricians speak, people listen. By advocating for more equitable child life services, you can help ensure that families receive the emotional and educational support they need. This isn't just about medical care; it's about the psychosocial and emotional well being of the child and family. Your advocacy can be the missing piece that brings about real change. That's why we're excited to announce that we'll be attending the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in Washington, D.C. next week. We believe that by joining forces, we can amplify the call for better child life services. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of countless families. We can't wait to meet you next week to share how an investment in child life resources for your patients and families can make a lasting impact. Join us at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference Booth 725 to learn more about how you can be an advocate for equitable child life services. #patientexperience #whatreallymatters #digitalhealth #childrenshospital #womenintech #childlifespecialist #childlifeservices #parenting #b2b2c #valuebasedcare #pediatrics #aap2024

In his recent interview for Healthcare Innovation , David Raths highlights the insights of Amanda Furr, M.D., the population health leader at Pediatric Associates Family of Companies. Dr. Furr manages population health efforts at one of the largest primary care pediatric practices in the nation, spanning over seven states. She emphasizes the significance of investing in teams and technology for success in value-based care. Dr. Furr discusses their collaboration with Innovaccer to integrate data from various sources, aiding in comprehensive patient care through prescriptive analytics. Their use of technology like customizable dashboards helps care teams track quality, risk, cost, and performance efficiently. Dr. Furr underscores the advantages of Pediatric Associates' scale in facilitating investments in crucial resources for value-based care. Despite challenges in unifying electronic health records (EHRs) across multiple locations, they prioritize transitioning all practices onto a single EMR system to streamline data integration. Their partnership with Innovaccer enhances patient-centric care by consolidating diverse data sources, providing actionable insights for clinicians at the point of care. Dr. Furr also addresses the importance of addressing social determinants of health, improving access to behavioral health services, and advocating for policy changes to support continuous coverage for children under Medicaid. #ValueBasedCare #Pediatrics #HealthcareInnovation #PopulationHealth

Summer is usually when parents take their kids for their annual check ups! Well visits are the perfect time to discuss any concerns about your child, whether they be physical health concerns, social concerns, academic concerns, mental health concerns or all of the above. We are all living such busy lives throughout the school year that sometimes it's hard for us to stop and breath long enough to schedule that annual visit. Sadly, in the past 2 decades I have been a pediatrician, these visits have gotten shorter and shorter. Parents schedule these appointments months in advance, wait hours in the waiting room and then see the doctor for 5-10 minutes. The is the time that has been alloted for most children and teens when they come in for their annual visits. As a mom and a pediatrician, I can tell you with 100% confidence that 5-10 minutes is not enough. Our children deserve better and so do families. Rushed appointments lead to missed diagnosis, unanswered questions and increased anxiety and confusion since parents have little time to discuss their concerns. Add to this the fact that now kids and teens rarely see the same pediatrician year after year. Continuity of care is important as this creates trust, confidence and gives children, teens and parents a true medical home. This is where DPC Pediatrics comes in. If you have been thinking about or curious about conceirge pediatrics, but you think it is costly or out of reach, I wanted to share with you that the monthly payment is equal to or less than the cost of a one time annual visit and comes with unlimited access to a experience board certified pediatrician that knows you and your family well. You can text, enjoy unlimited virtual visits for an entire month for the cost of a single visit to the pediatrician in a traditional office. If you are in the South Florida area and are looking for a new type of personalized and comprehensive pediatric care, I encourage you to visit my website and schedule a complimentary meet and greet to learn more about how our office works! Don't settle for rushed appointments, instead give this type of personalized care a try this summer! There are no long term contracts, you may cancel at anytime. If you are an employer, this is an affordable and wonderful additional benefit to offer employees who are expecting! It is an incredible gift! All newborn visits are at home and includes direct access to a board certified pediatrician with over 2 decades of experience. #floridapediatrician #pediatrics #DPC #conciergepediatrics

🌟 The Power of Knowledge Sharing in Pediatric Healthcare 🌟 As a pediatrician, I've always believed that one of the most powerful tools we have is the ability to share knowledge and experiences within our medical community. Every day, I see firsthand how collaboration and learning from one another can positively impact patient care and outcomes. In our field, no one person has all the answers. By sharing insights, best practices, and the latest research findings, we empower ourselves and our colleagues to provide the best possible care for our young patients. From discussing complex cases to staying updated on the latest treatment modalities, knowledge sharing not only enhances our clinical skills but also fosters a sense of community and support among healthcare professionals. I encourage my fellow pediatricians and healthcare providers to join me in embracing the culture of continuous learning and collaboration. Together, let's harness the power of shared knowledge to make a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. How has knowledge sharing impacted your practice? Let's continue the conversation in the comments below! 👩⚕️👨⚕️💬 #Pediatrics #Healthcare #KnowledgeSharing #Community
