Our organization will work with providers to increase awareness of what options are available to parents and providers. This will be accomplished by 1) surveying pediatric cardiologists to develop tools that will provide clinical decision support to pediatricians, and 2) increase awareness for newborn health conditions and how technology innovations are improving newborn health by creating educational materials that are for providers and for families on the options available for pediatric cardiology patients such as a)for providers - cardiology screening options as well as new care plan adherence programs to better coordinate care with patients and families and b)for families - available treatment options, support and community services, as well as financial reimbursement options.
