FYI: BRUE resources, bullying report, and more :

June 23, 2016
New QI site features BRUE resources

Check out the new Quality Improvement (QI) Implementation Tools and Resources page and its first posted topic, Brief Resolved Unexplained Events (BRUE). The page, at http://bit.ly/1szXjYd, includes links to BRUE quality metrics, a patient education brochure, key driver diagram and the AAP clinical practice guideline released in April.

The site serves as a clearinghouse for order sets, measures, educational materials and tools to implement rigorous QI projects. Tools support AAP clinical practice guidelines as well as other QI topics of interest. The site also seeks feedback from members on new topics and usefulness of resources.

Members are encouraged to email content such as tools, order sets and other QI resources for posting to [email protected].

Bullying prevention report

Although difficult to pinpoint, school-based bullying affects 18% to 31% of children and

youths, while cyberbullying affects 7% to 15%, according to a report from the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.

Preventing Bullying through Science, Policy and Practice, at www.nas.edu/ScienceOnBullying, looks at the levels of bullying based on peer group compositions, demographics, societal norms and technology. It refers to bullying as a “major public health problem that demands concerted and coordinated time and attention” of health care providers and communities. Risk factors, protective factors and latest science are reflected in the report, which was sponsored by eight government and non-profit foundations.



Neonatal-perinatal pioneers book

AAP Section on Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine members receive a free download of the e-book Pioneers in Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine. The 26-column compilation was edited by NeoReviews Editor-in-Chief Alistair G.S. Philip, M.D., FAAP, in celebration of NeoReviews’ 15th anniversary last year.

A glimpse into the lives of trailblazers in neonatal/perinatal medicine, including some of the first female neonatologists and perinatologists, the book was written mostly by their students who have continued to lead the profession. Dr. Philip notes in the foreword that the book allows young physicians to appreciate the contributions of giants in the field.

The AAP member price for those who are not section members is $33.95 (e-book and paperback). Order at http://shop.aap.org/Pioneers-in-NeonatalPerinatal-Medicine-eBook or call 866-843-2271.

To join the section, visit http://bit.ly/addAAPSCC or call the AAP Division of Member Services at 800-433-9016, ext. 5897.
