Introduction
•Barriers to accessing pediatric specialty care exist for many and are not experienced equally by all.
•eConsults are an asynchronous provider-provider referral modality to obtain low-barrier specialist input in place of some face-to-face (F2F) visits.
•We evaluated sociodemographic factors associated with referral to and receipt of specialist input before and after eConsult implementation at MaineHealth to examine equity implications.
Barriers To Care For Children With Cerebral Palsy In The Rural State Of Maine: A Mixed-Methods Study, Rayne L. Whitten, Anya K. Cutler, Alexa K. Craig
Barriers To Care For Children With Cerebral Palsy In The Rural State Of Maine: A Mixed-Methods Study, Rayne L. Whitten, Anya K. Cutler, Alexa K. Craig
Journal of Maine Medical Center
Introduction: Guidelines on orthopedic hip surveillance in children with cerebral palsy have been published to minimize the effects of cerebral palsy and maximize quality of life. Researchers aimed to identify barriers to cerebral palsy care and to assess adherence to national hip-surveillance guidelines among a small subset of children with cerebral palsy who live in a rural state.
Methods: Parents of children with cerebral palsy were interviewed, and thematic analyses were performed on the recorded transcripts. Patient-specific data about imaging and demographics were manually extracted from the electronic health record to perform a mixed-methods analysis.
Results: Twenty-one parents were interviewed, …

Introduction: Patients with concussion may benefit from care provided by professionals from multiple disciplines based on the constellation of symptoms being reported. This study analyzed referral patterns from primary care and sports medicine clinicians for pediatric patients with sports-related concussion in one health care system.
Methods: A retrospective chart review identified referrals placed to physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, optometry, psychology, neuropsychology, audiology, neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, psychiatry, and sports medicine for pediatric patients with sports-related concussion. These patients were evaluated at MaineHealth family medicine, internal medicine/pediatrics, pediatrics, and sports medicine clinics in southern Maine between February 2019 and June …

Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2021
BACKGROUND
• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may alter body composition by lowering anabolic hormones and increasing inflammation.
Prior studies have found positive, inverse, and null associations of PFAS concentrations with adiposity among children and adolescents.
Few studies have examined associations of PFAS concentrations with changes in body composition longitudinally.
No study has examined the association of PFAS plasma concentrations with lean mass.

Did You Wash Your Hands?
Kelley Coyne, RN, OPD Maine Medical Center
Introduction: While there is great focus and education regarding the importance of hand hygiene among healthcare workers there appears to be less focus and education on the importance of patient’s hand hygiene. My observation, as a healthcare provider in pediatrics, is that patient’s compliance with hand hygiene is rare and it appears that there is a need to educate patients on the importance of hand hygiene. Hand Hygiene has the highest efficacy and is a cost effective measure for preventing infection. Researchers in London estimate that if everyone …

IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CHILD LIFE SERVICES AND NURSING ON AN INPATIENT HOSPITAL UNIT
Effective communication between patient caregivers has been shown to reduce stress and trauma related to hospitalization and subsequent improved outcomes. An HCAHP score for a 30 bed acute inpatient pediatric unit illustrated the confusion faced by children as a result of nursing and care life specialists not working together as a team.
A root cause analysis identified a number of issues as to why patients were not benefitting fully from child life services. Several counter measures were instituted with the goals of improving the HCAHP score and …
