Summary

Using a randomized trial design, the goal of this project is to prospectively compare outcomes from a telemedicine-based model of care to two cohorts: patients who receive in-person pediatric physiatrist medical direction (the "gold standard"), and those who receive medical oversight from non-specialist community providers. This project will determine the impact of this new model of care using telemedicine on parent/guardian satisfaction, adherence rates to an evidence-based hip surveillance program, and economic efficiency.

Interventions

OTHER

Telemedicine

Medical direction will be provided to MTUs through a video-based conferencing unit. Each telemedicine unit includes a Rubbermaid medical grade cart with a Polycom RealPresence 500 Series high-resolution video-conferencing unit flat screen to display video. Each cart also comes with an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to make the unit mobile if needed or to properly shut it down in the event of power failure.

OTHER

In-Person Pediatric Physiatrist

UC Davis pediatric physiatrists will drive out to the school-based MTUs to provide medical direction in person.

OTHER

In-Person Non-Pediatric Physiatrist

A contracted physician (i.e., a non pediatric physiatrist) would provide medical direction in person.
