Reflecting on #AAP2023 :
So many advocates for children gathered in one place at one time.
So many opportunities to learn, to network and to speak up for children- even on Capitol Hill.
If the whole world could be like this every day, what a wonderful world it would be.

“At HHS.gov we are with you when it comes to moving towards a system of health care that no longer just thinks about treating illness but about promoting wellness from the very beginning.” -- Secretary Xavier Becerra at AAP National Conference & Exhibition #AAP2023 .

'Access to Information is a Human Right. Libraries are on the frontlines and in the crosshairs of the Censorship Debate.'
My local library was my doorway to knowledge. It should serve that role for every child. Censorship and book bans slam that door shut. Tracie D. Hall #AAP2023

Book banning is at an all time high. In schools, in public libraries, in independent bookstores.
Censorship compromises child and family health.

Some of the banned books were my favorite childhood books.
This is not ok. Kids deserve better.

'No distinction between physical health and mental health.' HHS Secretary Secretary Xavier Becerra
We need to provide care for all children and adolescents. Whatever care they need to thrive. #AAP2023

THANK YOU to the pediatricians & advocates who came out to support Their Future. Our Vote. and our mission to build a political movement that centers America’s kids!

Both smaller and larger practices can do a good job of keeping their patients up to date. The strategies may vary, but it can be done regardless of practice size!

If your patient attribution list includes patients who aren't your patients, your quality data will reflect those patients and will likely make your data look worse. Fixing that attribution list allows you to see what you are really doing. Suzanne Berman at #AAP2023

To address gaps in care, pediatricians must first identify which children on their panels are actually their patients. Sounds easy? Not so much.
Sounds like it's not important? It's really, really important! Suzanne Berman at #AAP2023
