Children’s Minnesota, one of the largest pediatric health systems in the US, successfully integrated its care delivery with AvoMD, a next-gen app-based clinical decision support platform.
Mycaela Scalzo and Donovan Martin, parents of one with another on the way, were going to their 20-week ultrasound appointment with the typical feelings of anxiousness and excitement parents have. During this appointment, the baby’s size, organs and overall health are checked. But Mycaela and Donovan’s excitement soon turned to fear. During the check-up, an unknown mass was found on their baby’s face. The provider suspected it was oral teratoma – a noncancerous but still potentially dangerous tumor that could block the baby’s airway, create feeding issues and more.
While we’ll never be able to completely ease parents’ fears, we can significantly increase their skills and confidence by providing them simulation (sim) training before their child leaves the hospital.
