Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition01:27

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
Primary Production01:06

Primary Production

The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.
Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Dietary Connections01:23

Dietary Connections

In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used as energy sources to produce...

Summary

A pediatric practice and food bank partnered to address child food insecurity, successfully connecting 192 families to fresh produce. This quality improvement initiative reduced delivery times, improving health outcomes for young children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric primary care
  • Public health initiatives
  • Food security research

Background:

  • Food insecurity significantly hinders young children's health and development.
  • Pediatric primary care settings are crucial touchpoints for identifying and addressing family needs.
  • Community-based partnerships can extend healthcare services to address social determinants of health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a quality improvement (QI) program connecting food-insecure families with a fresh produce home delivery service.
  • To establish a sustainable referral pathway between a pediatric practice and a local food bank.
  • To improve access to nutritious food for young children and their families.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team developed a referral system from a pediatric practice to a food bank's produce delivery program.
  • Quality improvement (QI) training was provided to both the medical team and food bank staff.
  • Interventions included EHR referrals, staff education, and optimizing the food bank's delivery logistics.

Main Results:

  • 192 families were referred to the produce delivery program within 6 months, achieving a 5% initial referral rate.
  • The food bank enhanced its delivery process, decreasing the mean time from referral to first delivery from 74 days to 21 days.
  • The program demonstrated a sustainable referral rate of 3.5% of eligible pediatric patients.

Conclusions:

  • Effective strategies for addressing food insecurity in pediatric primary care involve linking families with community resources.
  • A collaborative QI approach between healthcare providers and community organizations is vital for program success.
  • This pilot program successfully connected families with essential nutritional support, improving health outcomes.
