In recent years, the AAP has strongly emphasized the importance of trauma-informed care for pediatricians, recognizing its critical role in supporting patients' overall health and well-being. Read more about implementing trauma-informed care via PCC.
"The AAP's stance on trauma-informed care is rooted in the growing body of research that highlights the profound impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on a child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development. ACEs, which include experiences such as abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, and other traumatic events, can have long-lasting consequences if not adequately addressed — however, a shift in the AAP’s stance offers a new understanding of ACEs and how they relate to trauma-informed care."

Struggling with anti-vaxxers at your medical practice? You may find arguments on your social media including those looking to troll or bully. Here's how this pediatrician stood up for vaccines and won!
"Independent pediatricians may feel unsure at times about their responsibility to educate their pediatric patients and their parents with so much information readily available online. It’s important to keep in mind that misinformation and anti-vax groups are also rampant in the digital space. For parents, having an informed and kind pediatrician can go a long way to helping them make the right choices for their growing children.
Providing education in the realm of discussion, educational pamphlets, and messaging around a pediatrician’s office can start important conversations."

Being time efficient is important for a physician. But as patients turn to the Internet and social media for medical information, it's also essential to ensure that patients have the right education about their health. 👩💻
You can use video to reach patients while also improving your practice efficiency. Read this blog for more info!
"People look for physicians who are qualified to treat their medical issues. But, even more so, they look for physicians they like and can see themselves having a positive relationship with. When they visit your website or see your practice on social media, they're typically not asking where you went to medical school or the accolades you've earned. Instead, they want to know if you're friendly and trustworthy. And they want to see if you'll be empathetic and caring when they're most vulnerable.
That's why videos introducing you and your practice make a difference. On video, people can hear your voice and see your face. They can see how you talk about complex issues and what having you as their doctor might be like. Ultimately, a video introduction is more memorable and makes a stronger impression than just text on a bio page."

Physician Profiling
/in Articles /by Susanne MaddenPearl, Conference Report | July 08, 2010 | Billing Compliance, Payers, Productivity, Referrals
By Susanne Madden
Physician profiling is used by payers to steer their members to in-network physicians who, by their measures, are the most cost-efficient and provide the highest quality of care. Wonder if you’ve made the grade? Look yourself up in a provider directory: if you see a star or two beside your name, you’ve been profiled.
