Engage physicians: Lessons from children’s hospitals

If your CDI program needs physician engagement ideas, perhaps tuning into the efforts at your nearby pediatric hospital can help—or, you can just call on Valerie Bica, RN, CPN, CDI specialist at Nemours/A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, and her teammates. Although many of the group’s
ideas may be familiar to seasoned CDI departments, the program employs a variety of tactics to educate not just its facility physicians, but the entire pediatric care team.
