At our children’s hospital, we deployed clinical decision support (CDS) software to support appropriate use of imaging. The software is primarily based on ACR appropriateness criteria. To determine if by using CDS, lower rates of payer claim denials could be expected, we evaluated rates of payer claim denials based on CDS score prior to CDS go-live. Read More

In our pediatric radiology department, radiographs (XR) are the shared responsibility of body radiologists, expected to be read in addition to daily modality-based or site-specific assignments. Due to concerns that the increasing XR volume was unevenly shared amongst colleagues, a software intervention was developed to improve weekday 7am-5pm workload balance by auto-distributing exams at 10-minute intervals during peak hours to rotation worklists within PACS; a cap of 20 distributed exams to each target worklist was set. Metrics to evaluate the intervention’s effectiveness were assessed. Additionally, as there was concern that assigning exams may result in slower turnaround times (TATs) and increased errors, TATs and error rates were evaluated. Read More

While a definitive conclusion regarding the optimal diagnostic strategy for midgut volvulus remains elusive, value can also be derived from cost. The purpose is to quantify and compare the monetary and time costs, from a provider perspective of imaging with Upper GI (UGI) versus Ultrasound (US) of children with suspected midgut volvulus.

Gastro-Jejunostomy (GJ) tubes are commonly placed and exchanged by interventional radiologists (IR) in pediatric patients requiring transpyloric feeds. GJ tubes with slight variations are available from different manufacturers, most frequently used are Avanos Medical, Inc. (previously Halyard Medical Devices) and Applied Medical Technology (AMT). There is currently no published data available comparing complication rates between the different GJ tubes. The goal of this study is to compare complication rates at two different pediatric institutions and reasons for non-elective required exchange/replacement of GJ tubes manufactured by Avanos and AMT in pediatric patients.
