    + The Center for Innovation in Chronic Disease Care

    Lori Crosby is a faculty member of the Center for Innovation in Chronic Disease Care at Cincinnati Children's. The center was created to improve the outcomes for children and adolescents with chronic illnesses by accelerating the development of effective care delivery methods. With this goal in mind, we bring together scientists and physicians from eight academic divisions and six disciplines to foster change and facilitate experimentation.

    Our aim is to identify and understand the barriers to optimal clinical outcomes and experiences among adolescents with asthma. To this end, we have created the Asthma Innovation Lab to use new knowledge to improve clinical outcomes and experiences. As part of this objective, we are developing improved and innovative care methods, and we will apply successful new methods to other chronic patient populations.

    The Headache Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is the largest pediatric headache center in the United States, with national and international recognition. Established in 1996, the Headache Center was organized as a multidisciplinary clinic, combining child neurology with child psychology and nursing. Our goal is to diagnose, treat and manage children with headache disorders. In 2009, the Headache Center was recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence in Headache Medicine by Medical Economics, the only pediatric center in the United States to receive this designation. Lori Crosby is the center’s lead psychologist.

    Our medical team sees children with a variety of headache complaints, including migraine, migraine with aura and tension-type headache. Patients are diagnosed using the International Classification of Headache Disorders 2nd Edition, which was developed by the International Headache Society.
