Welcome
We welcome you to our 8th annual District VI Neonatology Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Our exciting program, “Controversies in Neonatal Clinical Care,” features experts in the field, providing evidence-based practice guidance for care of vulnerable newborns. This conference is applicable to neonatal practitioners in academic or private practice neonatology. We offer a forum for education and discussion of controversial issues in neonatal clinical care, provider education, billing and coding, and quality improvement. There will be an early reception providing abundant opportunities for networking with speakers and district providers along with an update on the activities of the District VI Association of Neonatologists.
Friday consists of two plenary sessions and a buffet lunch. Topics include current evidence based approach to management of anemia of prematurity, long term neurodevleopmental effects of anesthesia and analgesia in the NICU, evidence for use of pre- and probiotics in the NICU, controversies in management of hypoglycemia, update on uncommon perinatal infections (HIV, syphilis, HSV) and the current and future applications of genomics in the NICU. During lunch we will have an update on the activities of the District VI Association of Neonatologists.
Saturday morning will begin with plenary sessions covering congenital anomalies of the chest, controversies in the use of NAVA and noninvasive ventilation, current information on newborn screening and diagnosis and management of inborn errors of metabolism, and a presentation from the AAP Department of Federal Affairs surveying the landscape of healthcare in the United States. Following this session another buffet lunch will be provided with an interactive ethics session.
Saturday afternoon will feature concurrent sessions covering a board review and contract negotiation for fellows and early career neonatologists or a session on updates in billing, coding and an interactive session on quality improvement.
We look forward to an interactive discussion at our District VI Neonatology meeting!
Dena K. Hubbard, Chair, Planning Committee
Program Overview:
District VI Neonatology Meeting, “Controversies in Neonatal Clinical Care”, will present topics that represent commonly encountered clinical situations in which the proper course of action is unclear or controversial and clinicians must use currently available evidence, recommendations based on experience or expertise, and opinion to guide decision making. This meeting will present current thinking, based on evidence, new guidelines, and practitioner experience, and offer the opportunity for the participants to exchange views, suggest approaches to clinical research, and refine decision making in these difficult areas of clinical practice. Among the controversies being discussed will be those in management of anemia of prematurity, use of analgesia and anesthesia in the NICU, current epidemiology and treatment of uncommon perinatal infections, evidence for pre and probiotics in the prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis, threshold and management of hypoglycemia, lung disease using NAVA and noninvasive ventilation. Review of congenital chest anomalies, newborn screenings and inborn errors of metabolism and an update on genomics in the NICU will be discussed. In addition to the clinical content, information on practice management as it pertains to coding and billing for services as well as Maintenance of Certification (MOC) for the American Board of Pediatrics will be discussed. New this year is a session on quality improvement in the NICU, a clinical practical approach that can be used in any NICU.
The goal of this activity is to improve patient care by increasing learner competence in implementing the most current guidelines and evidence-based practice into the management of the neonate in the NICU.
Statement of Need: While guidelines in the treatment of the newborn do exist and are constantly updated, controversies within the field confuse physicians who are looking for the most effective evidence-based solutions to common and uncommon challenges in the NICU. Collaborative and solution-based forums are needed in order to foster discussion and adoption of the updated 2015 guidelines and implementation of the evidence-based practice changes.
Target Audience: You should attend if you are a: neonatologist, pediatrician, family practitioner or an advance practice provider caring for infants and newborns, as well as trainees with a focus in neonatology.
Purpose and Objectives: The Controversies in Neonatal Care Conference was started in 2008 as a source for high quality neonatal professional education for the providers in District VI of the Section of Perinatal Pediatrics (SoPPe). This educational conference seeks to:
· Provide guidance and support to physicians in the daily academic and/or private practice of neonatal/perinatal medicine
· Offer a forum for discussion of a variety of important issues, primarily clinical care, but also including billing and coding, maintenance of certification, health care reform, ethical dilemmas in neonatal medicine , and practical application of quality improvement projects
· Create networking opportunities for neonatologists and other pediatric professionals responsible for the delivery of care to the fetus and newborn.
Predicted Outcomes:
When returning to their practices, physicians should be better able to increase their competency and performance in implementing the guidelines and evidence-based practice management in the areas of anemia of prematurity, neonatal hypoglycemia, anesthesia and pain control in the NICU, application of genomics, benefit of pre- and probiotics, perinatal non-common infections, congenital anomalies of the chest, noninvasive ventilation, newborn screening, legal view of the healthcare landscape, ethics in neonatal/perinatal healthcare, review of correct coding and billing practices and quality improvement while maintaining their certification in the field.
