Objective:
To evaluate whether participation in the Health Equity Morning Report (HEMR), a novel case-based curriculum, was associated with increased pediatric residents' observable mentions or plans related to social/structural determinants of health (SSDOH) during inpatient rounds.
Methods:
In academic year 2024-2025, the authors developed a direct-observational checklist informed by national health-related social needs screening tools and generated validity evidence through expert review and calibration. Pediatric interns were observed twice before and twice after curriculum exposure. Each encounter received an ordinal score (0 = no SSDOH content, 1 = SSDOH mention, 2 = SSDOH plan). Mann-Whitney U tests compared ordinal scores; Fisher's exact tests compared proportions. A brief post-session survey assessed perceived educational value.
Results:
We analyzed 132 patient encounters, including 52 pre-curriculum encounters and 80 post-curriculum encounters. No SSDOH-related mention or plan occurred during the pre-curriculum period, whereas 9 of 80 post-curriculum encounters (11.3%) included engagement (six plans, three mentions). Differences were statistically significant (U = 1846.0, P =.01; Fisher's exact test P =.01). Among survey respondents (n = 65), 41 (79%) rated the session Very or Extremely educational.
Conclusions:
Participation in HEMR was associated with increased SSDOH-related engagement during rounds and was rated highly by learners.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

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...
