“…4 National, statewide, and local initiatives that target lower volume EDs could serve as effective strategies for improving pediatric readiness and potentially patient outcomes. Example of these initiatives include quality improvement programs, [34][35][36] statewide 37 or local 38 partnerships between pediatric facilities and smaller volume EDs, or coordinated systems of pediatric emergency care. 39 For example, the Institute of Medicine recommends a pediatric emergency care coordinator to provide oversight of emergency care services to children and integrate and promote pediatric education, policies, and procedures in pediatric emergency care.…”

Objective To describe the relationship between statewide pediatric facility recognition (PFR) programs and pediatric readiness in emergency departments (EDs) in the US. Study design Data were extracted from the 2013 National Pediatric Readiness Project assessment (4083 EDs). Pediatric readiness was assessed using the weighted pediatric readiness score (WPRS) based on a 100-point scale. Descriptive statistics were used to compare WPRS between recognized and nonrecognized EDs and between states with or without a PFR program. A linear mixed model with WPRS was used to evaluate state PFR programs on pediatric readiness. Results Eight states were identified with a PFR program. EDs in states with a PFR program had a higher WPRS compared with states without a PFR program (overall a 9.1-point higher median WPRS; P < .001); EDs recognized in a PFR program had a 21.7-point higher median WPRS compared with nonrecognized EDs (P < .001); and between states with a statewide PFR program, there was high variability of participation within the states. We found state-level PFR programs predicted a higher WPRS compared with states without a PFR program (b = 5.49; 95% CI 2.76-8.23). Conclusions Statewide PFR programs are based on national guidelines and identify those EDs that adhere to a standard level of readiness for children. These statewide PFR initiatives are associated with higher pediatric readiness. As scalable strategies are needed to improve emergency care for children, our study suggests that statewide PFR programs may be one way to improve pediatric readiness and underscores the need for further implementation and evaluation.

The quality of care for children and adults in the United States is variable and often suboptimal. Approaches that improve the systems of care for entire patient populations are needed. The certifying medical boards can contribute to driving change by ensuring that improving care and outcomes for patients and families is the priority. The American Board of Pediatrics has catalyzed collaborative improvement networks, resulting in improved health outcomes for children, fostered partnerships with patients and families, and brought together key stakeholders to advocate for network improvement efforts for sickle cell disease as one action to address health disparities. Similar concerted efforts by certifying boards in collaboration with physicians and patients can improve the quality of care and lead to better patient outcomes. (J Am Board Fam Med 2020;33:S36-S41.

“…[113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123] For pediatrics in particular, other initiatives offering practice improvement (Part IV) MOC credit have incorporated multiple institutions across the country that are engaged in national QI collaboratives and have demonstrated improvements on process measures, intermediate outcome measures, and outcome measures. [124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133] Other studies focused on activities completed through web-based practice improvement (Part IV) modules that incorporated larger numbers of selfselected participants and their self-reported chart-audit data and found improvements relative to baseline in most documentation and process measures, as well as improvements on some intermediate outcome measures. [134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144] Other analyses of web-based specialty board modules were associated with self-assessed improvements in care or knowledge but did not report remeasurement of outcomes after the intervention.…”
