Executive summary: the evidence that child BMI is increasing significantly during COVID...maybe? A little? However, we need to check again in a couple months.
Tonight on the COVID webinar with a few of our friends, I plan to share a lot of information, including the latest data trends (which I'll update here). One chunk of content I want to highlight is this:
We've shared the unequivocal data - visits are down significantly for pediatricians across the country. Although Well Visits have slowed less than sick visits, they aren't much behind. What does this mean for vaccination?
If all goes as planned, this will be my last static blog update about the financial clinical data relating to COVID and pediatricians. Why? Because we're hoping to fire up a public page soon that gets updated daily. Stay tuned.
I've got a lot to throw at you. Jan will have an updated COVID-19 coding guide to me shortly and she will be presenting for SOAPM in a week or so (links to follow). Dr. Joe Hagan, of Bright Futures fame, has a video about how to leverage Bright Futur...
Note: please move to using v2.1 of the Imms Admin Analysis Tool, which you can find here. After working with a number of customers, I've updated two immunization tools from the blog that I've found very handy. I'd like to thank those who spent some t...
Update: with the help of some excellent test subjects and some real-life data, I have significantly updated the Immunization Cost Comparison Calculator. Try it now, tell me what you think! I am preparing my 2019 AAP NCE talk about the Business of Vac...
I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice. They are cranking out episodes (which is a good thing) and anyone who supports independent pediatricians should tune in to their effort. What they are doing takes a tremendous amount of work and their guest list is amazing (well, besides me). They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
