Pediatrix’s commitment to clinical and research excellence is evidenced by our comprehensive educational and professional development opportunities offered online or during live sessions.
The Pediatrix® Neonatology Grand Rounds series addresses pertinent controversial issues that influence the clinical practice of newborn medicine. Webinars are held on the first Wednesday of every month from 4 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
On August 7, Andy Kim, M.D., will examine how tele-neurology can play a useful role in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This webinar will provide a better understanding of inpatient tele-neurology consultation service and how it can be utilized to optimize the care of sick newborns in the NICU with neurological disorders.
Topics covered will include:
- The importance of a therapeutic hypothermia program to a community and how a tele-neurology service can help make the procedure feasible, even in the context of a national child neurologist shortage.
- The general workflow to utilize a tele-neurology service in practical, efficient and effective ways.
- How to apply the workflow specifically in the care of newborns undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.
- The basic clinical data from the first year of Pediatrix tele-neurology service consulting in NICUs.
- Illustrative cases Pediatrix tele-neurology consulted in the care of newborns with neurological disorders.
