Study Summary
Child maltreatment is a leading cause of death and disability in children. More than 3 million reports to Child Protective Services are made every year in the US and almost 1,600 children die annually due to maltreatment. Children who are victims of maltreatment often have significant lifelong adverse health, social, and economic consequences. Accurate and timely recognition of the early signs of child maltreatment is critical to decreasing morbidity and mortality. A significant proportion of children who suffer severe morbidity and/or mortality from maltreatment had been previously evaluated by physician(s) who did not recognize the abuse. The American Academy of Pediatrics has evidence-based recommendations for the testing which should be done as part of the medical evaluation of children with suspected physical abuse. However, despite these evidence-based recommendations, physicians fail to consistently screen for and evaluate for abuse even in high-risk situations. The investigators have developed and evaluated what the investigators believe to be the first, comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) based child abuse clinical decision support (CA-CDS). This EHR-based CA-CDS system informs medical care at multiple points during the care for a potentially maltreated child, beginning with identification of suspected abuse to the handing off of information to CPS which has a mandate to protect children who are victims of suspected maltreatment. The investigators are disseminating the following aspects of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) based child abuse- clinical decision support (CA-CDS) system which they developed as part of the investigator's initial PCORI grant. 1. a universal child abuse screen (CAS) - supports identification of maltreatment 2. an embedded child abuse alert system - supports identification of maltreatment 3. alerts to physicians and advanced practice providers - supports identification of maltreatment 4. physical abuse order set - sup
