ABSTRACT INFORMATION
Title: 'AAP and NYEHDI Collaboration to Create a Physician Residency Training Curriculum ' Track: 5 - Medical Home Keyword(s): Physician resident training, stakeholders, collaboration, medical home Learning Objectives: Describe how essential information on EHDI can be distilled into educational materials suitable for inclusion in physician residency programs Describe challenges and advantages of collaboration among various state stakeholders to produce an educational curriculum Identify the roles of chapter champions, physicians and state EHDI officials in generating solutions for loss to follow-up and documentation Abstract: Pediatric primary care providers (PCP) may be among the keys to reducing loss to follow-up for children who do not pass newborn hearing screening in the hospital. With a prevalence rate for permanent hearing loss at around three in 1000 newborns, hearing loss is more common than some developmental issues or disabilities, but less common than others, and may not receive adequate attention by PCPs and their residency training programs. The American Academy of Pediatrics NY Chapter II (AAP) and the New York Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program (NYEHDI) have partnered to engage the medical home in the EHDI process. A joint survey of NY pediatricians found gaps in knowledge and a paucity of experience. This information along with the belief that the active engagement of PCPs could reduce Lost to Follow-up and Documentation was the impetus for the development of a one hour educational DVD entitled “Pediatricians Can Make the Difference.” PCP lack of knowledge and experience may be a direct result of gaps in residency training programs which do not directly address Universal Newborn Hearing Screening and appropriate follow-up of babies who do not pass and need further evaluation. Additionally, NY resident physicians see a significant number of newborns and may be involved in decision making related to EHDI issues. With this in mind, a unique group of interested individuals including AAP Chapter Champions, NYEHDI officials and advisory board members and interested residency directors, department chairmen and AAP members decided to develop a residency training program adapting this already produced DVD and elaborating on its content. Presenters will describe the development of this program and its planned inclusion into pediatric residency training programs.
