A quality improvement program in pediatric practices to increase tailored injury prevention counseling and assess self-reported changes made by families

摘要

BackgroundMany pediatric providers struggle to screen families for the majority of age-appropriate injury risks and educate them when appropriate. Standardized tools have helped physicians provide effective, more purposeful counseling. In this study, pediatricians utilized a standardized, injury prevention screening tool to increase targeted discussions and families were re-screened at subsequent visits to determine changes in their behavior.
