Rethinking Well-Child Visits. Seminar, AAP 2007 National Conference and Exhibition (NCE), San Francisco, CA
Participants were presented with the results of an important national study to include: reporting on in-depth interview with primary care pediatric clinicians, experts in child development, and parents, regarding areas of need and potential for strengthening attention to the developmental needs of children and families within the well-child context, and study-based recommendations for change in the timing and priorities within well-child care. Participants were invited to present their own reactions to the study results, and their experiences and ideas for rethinking well-child care. Implications of a different model of well-child care on pediatric training, research, and healthcare delivery were discussed.
