Child Abuse Experts Provide Videoconference-Enabled Consultations to Providers in Remote Emergency Departments and Clinics, Leading to More Accurate Diagnosis

Physicians and nurse practitioners at the Child and Adolescent Abuse Resource and Evaluation (CAARE) Center at the University of California at Davis Children’s Hospital provide 24-hour child abuse evaluation and consultation services via interactive videoconferencing with patients, physicians, and child abuse specialists in six rural hospital emergency departments in underserved regions of northern California.1 The program also provides monthly child abuse training to health care providers in these hospitals who might otherwise forgo such opportunities because of time and travel distances required to attend onsite training. Pre- and post-implementation data suggests that the program enhanced provider knowledge and improved diagnostic accuracy, leading to improvements in quality of care.
