Letter from Dr. Shelly Voet - Dr. Shelly Voet, executive community physician leader, highlights resources and updates for physicians and providers in our region.

Care2, The Ohio AAP Maternal and Child Health Project, is Enrolling Now - The Care2 Project helps maximize time in pediatric visits to address the health needs of mothers and young children at the same time. Many mothers take responsibility for attending their children’s appointments – but do not regularly receive care for their own health. Care2 is working with practices to address this gap and integrate two generation care into existing workflows.

The Evolution of Hospital Medicine and Cincinnati Children’s Last Rounding Community Physician - An era quietly ended in late 2023, when Ted Pappas, MD, rounded on his patients for the last time at Cincinnati Children’s.

Notification Change for Positive Urine Cultures & Enteric Pathogens from Stool - Effective immediately, positive urine cultures and positive enteric pathogens from stool will no longer be called to the clinicians. Results will post to the patient’s chart and are noted as abnormal. Reasoning: These calls were previously considered courtesy calls, but Clinical Labs will begin using available technology to provide timely results more efficiently. Questions? Email your Lab Liaison Emily Kimball or Clinical Lab Medical Director Stephanie Kinney.
