| Abstract |
Purpose: Lack of consistent care for children with celiac disease (CD) can lead to poor health outcomes due to diagnostic delays, misdiagnoses, and incomplete monitoring. Therefore, physicians in a pediatric clinic requested guidance for recognizing, diagnosing, and treating CD in children. This project aimed to create and introduce an evidence-based pediatric care process model to facilitate standardization of care among pediatric patients with CD.; Methods: Interventions aimed to recommend, implement, and evaluate a pediatric CD care process model for use in a pediatric clinic. Collaboration with a CD content expert and a pediatrician from the intended clinic was essential to ensure the model's accuracy and applicability. The model was introduced to the physicians with a PowerPoint presentation, including pre- and post-surveys, to measure the change in pediatricians' comfort in managing pediatric CD.; Results: Quantitative survey results (n = 4) showed increased physician comfort in managing pediatric CD. Similar qualitative results were obtained from physician feedback during the presentation.; Implications for Practice: Implementing this care process model can decrease specialist referrals and reduce diagnostic delays for many children with CD. The model outlines consistent and evidence-based disease management to improve outcomes for children. The model was given to a second pediatric clinic within Intermountain Health and may be presented to the organization's pediatric service line team to determine if application within other pediatric clinics is appropriate. Pediatricians' consistent use of the care process model can improve children's health. |
