Program Description: 

SPUC weekly webinar series provides timely evidence based education to physicians and advance practice providers who care for children in acute care settings. The Society for Pediatric Urgent Care will provide this webinar to its members in both a real time and an archived format. SPUC weekly webinar series will feature speakers and learners interested in improving the quality of urgent care from across the nation. We will continue to offer 5 different categories of presentation to achieve our goals:

  • Journal Club This is a review of one or more articles relevant to pediatric urgent care practice. Articles will be evaluated for methods and generalizability to pediatric urgent care. A brief section on possible practice change should also be included for each article. Journals included in this screening can include: JAMA, NEJM, PEDS, JAMA PEDS, and ACADEMIC PED, Journal of PEM.
  • Case Conference This is a review of 1-3 patient cases seen in pediatric urgent care. Each case should include a brief didactic discussion including any relevant evidence-based management recommendations. The presenter should also consider addressing the following variables: 1) patient safety 2) system safety 3) system efficiency 4) potential for quality improvement intervention
  • Evidence-based Guideline Review This is a review of a specific evidence based guideline implemented in an urgent care or ER setting. The presenter should consider discussion of the following: relevance and application potential, understanding meaningful practice variation, key performance indicators, measurable outcomes, and change management strategies.
  • Pediatric Urgent Care Grand Rounds This is a presentation by content experts (pediatric urgent care providers and/or pediatric sub-specialists) on topics relevant to pediatric urgent care. Topics can range from patient care, healthcare research, medical education, public health to innovation.
  • Quality Improvement This is a review of a quality improvement intervention implemented in a pediatric urgent care or ER setting. Speaker should review: 1) What were the global and specific aims of project? 2) What changes were made? 3) What metrics were measured? 4) What Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were performed? 5) What conclusions were drawn and what (if any) future interventions are being considered?
