Greiner, MV; Beal, SJ. Developing a Health Care System for Children in Foster Care. Health Promotion Practice. 2018; 19(4):621-628.
This paper describes the creation of Cincinnati Children’s CHECK Center, a successful example of a unique health care delivery system for a very vulnerable population, children in  foster care.  Cincinnati Children’s has made a commitment and provided significant support for the health needs of children in foster care and this paper demonstrates how that commitment working together with community partners translated into a national model for foster care health.

The Reading House is a children’s book specially designed to directly screen emergent literacy skills and provide empowering guidance to families proximal to recommended preschool entry, where no similar measure exists.  This study involved 279 children screened during well-child visits at 7 primary care sites, establishing strong internal consistency, concurrent validity, feasibility, and utility from the perspective of families and clinical providers.

This paper demonstrated that of innovative technology, a virtual tour using 360° videos, to teach residents about social determinants of health demonstrated non-inferiority to the prior in-person experience.  This approach may address current training barriers related to standardization, sustainability, and scalability.  This pediatric resident led project was developed based on her Advocacy and Continuity Clinic experience in the PPC and resulted in external funding and dissemination.
McGowan, ML; Prows, CA; DeJonckheere, M; Brinkman, WB; Vaughn, L; Myers, MF. Adolescent and Parental Attitudes About Return of Genomic Research Results Focus Group Findings Regarding Decisional Preferences. Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics. 2018; 13(4):371-382.
Despite increasing opportunities for adolescents to enroll in genomic research that may generate clinically significant results, very little is known about how adolescents want to be involved in decisions about return of such results. This study is important because it allowed us to assess adolescents' and parents' decisional preferences about return of genomic research results to minors, which revealed adolescents' preferences for a collaborative decision-making approach for obtaining consent from adolescents and their parents for genome sequencing research that was later implemented with adolescents and parents enrolled in the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics Network at Cincinnati Children's.

This paper provides a detailed description about how we made relatively simple process changes that resulted in dramatically improved adherence to complex guidelines for addressing lead exposure in primary care.   These process changes could be used in other settings to standardize clinical responses to other medical problems where actions depend upon following complex guidelines.
