edwardspeter+FollowDo Pediatric Care Coordinators Really Help?Turns out, having a pediatric emergency care coordinator (PECC) in the ER isn’t a magic fix for better care. A huge study found that while PECCs sometimes help—like reducing unnecessary head CTs in some hospitals—their impact on quality care for kids is all over the place. In some hospitals, they make a difference; in others, not so much. Looks like we still don’t have a clear answer on whether every ER needs one! #Healthcare #Pediatrics #EmergencyCare #HospitalNews #MedicalResearch #Health50Share
Donald Jones DDS+FollowAre Kids Being Rushed Into Gender Care?The latest HHS report is throwing serious shade at the American Academy of Pediatrics for pushing medical interventions like puberty blockers and surgeries for kids with gender dysphoria—despite mounting evidence that this 'affirmation-only' approach might do more harm than good. Other countries are already pulling back, but the AAP is doubling down. Why aren’t we hitting pause and listening to the science? This debate is heating up, and it’s not going away anytime soon. #GenderCare #Pediatrics #HealthDebate #YouthHealth #ScienceMatters #Health1016Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowWhy Kids Are Gold for Eye DocsEver wonder why optometrists love seeing kids? Turns out, pediatric patients stick around for years, turning into loyal adult clients. Plus, kids need special services like myopia management and vision therapy, which are pricier and often paid out-of-pocket. And since active kids go through lots of daily contacts (hello, higher profit margins!), it’s a win-win. Even anti-fatigue lenses are trending for younger eyes. Basically, focusing on kids = major growth for eye clinics! #Optometry #Pediatrics #EyeHealth #PracticeGrowth #HealthcareBusiness #Health40Share
