PEDIATRIC GRAND ROUNDS - SHH AUDITORIUM - 08:00AM – Tuesday
The goal of the
Grand Rounds at Sacred Heart Hospital is
to examine current advances in the
diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Distinguished experts are selected to
address topics/objectives for the Grand
Rounds at Sacred Heart Hospital.
These activities are Evidenced-based or
Customary and Generally Accepted Medical
Practice and are approved in part or in
its entirety for evidence-based content.
MECOP anticipates that physicians will
be motivated to seek evidence-based CME
as their patients come to expect them to
practice evidence-based medicine. CME
involves a process of identifying a
learning need, developing an educational
strategy for learning, implementing the
strategy, and evaluating the
effectiveness of the strategy. An
evidence-based approach will help to
ensure the validity of clinical content
and thus improve the likelihood of a
successful outcome to the educational
intervention.
Overall Objectives: Through discussion,
audiovisual presentation and case
analysis, the participant should be able
to evaluate, refer, identify, examine
and provide guidelines that encourage
improved techniques in the treatment of
diseases intended to provide better
patient outcomes and evidence-based
guidelines or consensus viewpoint in
preference to personal opinion. Open
discussion and/or questions and answers
will allow for audience participation.
Specific objectives identified for each
lecture.
Evaluation: The evaluations for these
programs are designed to evaluate 1)
program content, 2) speaker presentation
and 3) audiovisuals. In addition, it is
used as a tool for 4) needs assessment,
5) outcomes, 6) disclosure of any
relationship that any of the speakers
may have with a commercial provider and
7) presenter bias that may exist in
his/her discussion of any commercial
product or service.
Subject Matter: Primary Care: New
Developments, Case Management &

conferences are designed in order that
physicians may be able to 1) IDENTIFY
key issues that confront the healthcare
provider 2) focus on most current
findings/recommendations for management
