|---|---|
| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (ABPF) undertakes strategic initiatives on behalf of the American Board of Pediatrics to advance the science, education, study, and practice of pediatrics. These initiatives are intended to support research on contemporary pediatric issues, the dialogue among health care leaders to improve the quality of physician training and pediatric care, and programs that will improve the practice of pediatrics. To achieve its mission, the ABP Foundation collaborates with other healthcare organizations, with the ultimate goal to improve quality of health care during infancy, childhood, adolescence, and the transition into adulthood. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (ABPF)supports the mission of the ABP to ensure excellence in the education of pediatricians and the delivery of pediatric care. The ABP Foundation achieves its goal by pursuing rigorous research, convening collaborators in health care, developing and disseminating collective expertise, and promoting innovation, ultimately fostering the health and well-being of children and families. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Research Workforce - For more than two decades, the ABP has disseminated its workforce data about pediatric physicians with the larger medical and health services community. Over the years, this effort has evolved to incorporate three types of data: (1) certification data, (2) tracking data provided to the ABP from pediatric residency and subspecialty training programs; and (3) census survey information collected across the entire span of a pediatrician's career, from training and initial certification through Continuing Certification (CC). Tracking the pediatric physician workforce is essential for understanding its makeup, numbers, distribution, and practice patterns. This effort has provided valuable information to pediatricians, pediatric residency and subspecialty training program directors, hospital administrators, policymakers, researchers, and others interested in ensuring that we have the skilled workforce necessary to meet the health care needs of infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. The overarching goal of this project is to utilize the ABP's reliable and unique data as a key resource to inform ABP operations and national workforce policy and planning discussions. We intend to achieve this goal by improving the quality and dissemination of the ABP's workforce related data, thereby enhancing its usefulness internally and externally. This past fiscal year, the team continued upgrades and updates to existing ABP website dashboards and PDFs, launched a new dashboard examining the race/ethnicity of pediatricians compared to other national surveys, continued to collaborate with the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs (AMSPDC) Workforce Initiative (including serving as a lead on one of the four domains), completed manuscripts, and continued with survey module analyses. A sample of metrics tracked for this work include published papers and Google analytics for access to the ABP data dashboards. In 2022, there were eight manuscripts published and the top two viewed dashboards included a U.S. map of subspecialists by state 1,026 unique pageviews and a visualization of the results of the continuing certification reenrollment surveys 1,480 unique pageviews. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | EPA Crosswalk Study - Competency-based medical education has been an important strategic priority for the ABP for almost a decade. In 2021, the ABP Board of Directors committed to implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as part of certification decision-making in the next 7 years. EPAs delineate major professional activities that a pediatrician is expected to be able to perform without supervision at the conclusion of residency training. An important part of preparing for this implementation is continued research on the use of EPAs in general pediatrics training programs. As EPAs are implemented in training programs, one issue that requires resolution is creating a connection between the milestones that are required to be reported to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the EPAs. To that end, the Crosswalk Study was developed and funded by the ABP Foundation in November 2021. This study has two distinct components. The first major goal of the Crosswalk Study is to determine the relationship between milestones and EPAs, allowing one to be "cross-walked" to the other, which will allow primary assessment and reporting based on one and secondary assessment and reporting based on the other. Specifically, EPAs could be assessed primarily with the ability to crosswalk and 'auto-populate' milestones for secondary use and reporting. The second goal of the Crosswalk Study is to determine generalizable best practices for implementing EPA-based assessment in pediatric residency programs through exploring what works and does not work, for whom, how, and under what circumstances in programs implementing the general pediatrics EPAs. To date, data have been collected from 3,775 individual residents from 64 programs participating in the Crosswalk Study (48 pediatrics programs and 16 medicine-pediatrics programs). Over 100,000 individual entrustment decisions have been collected thus far, including data for all 17 general pediatrics EPAs. In addition to connecting these EPA assessments to ACGME milestones, these data will be used to ensure high reliability of decisions being made by training programs, particularly at the time of graduation. The second part of the study, focused on defining best practices, has just begun and interviews with stakeholders from participating programs will begin over the coming months. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c | Roadmap - The ABP Foundation has provided funding since February 1, 2017, to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to "Develop a Roadmap to Support the Emotional and Mental Health Needs of Patients with Chronic Illness and their Families". Parents of children with chronic illness and healthcare professionals partnered together to: (1) Use a systematic process to understand patient and family needs for emotional support and mental health, with an initial focus on patients with chronic illness and their families; (2) Identify current strategies for addressing emotional support and mental health of patients with chronic illness and their families from literature review, current network initiatives and other relevant organizational efforts; (3) Develop a change package that can be used to raise awareness and provide specific strategies for pediatric subspecialists to identify and address patient and family needs for emotional and mental health support; (4) Provide metrics for networks and organizations to use that will assess and monitor efforts to improve emotional support and mental health for patients and families; (5) Facilitate the adoption of individual network initiatives that address the emotional support and mental health needs of patients and families; and (6) Develop a cross-network initiative to accelerate the improvement of emotional support and mental health for patients and families. In FY2021, the project team completed a 16-month Learning Collaborative with 11 subspecialty teams from 9 children's hospitals to test and revise the Roadmap Change Package, identify key steps for implementing emotional support for patients and families, develop novel resources, and consider the impact of implicit bias and racism on living with chronic conditions. In FY 2022, the project team completed a learning collaborative with cardiology teams caring for infants, children, and adolescents with congenital heart disease. The team also implemented Part 2 and Part 4 activities for Maintenance of Certification, built out a separate website, and continued its plan for the dissemination and spread of Roadmap, summarized current financial strategies for addressing emotional and behavioral health (by identifying current billing practices, use cases, and resources), and presented at numerous organizational meetings and workshops. The team also successfully applied for a small supplementary grant from a private family foundation. In 2022, various metrics were tracked to assess the progress of the work, include the successful launch and completion of Roadmap College, a 6-month program involving 15 cardiology teams. An impressive 79% of the program participants reported hearing at least one implementable idea, underscoring the effectiveness of the program in providing valuable insights. In addition, a monthly newsletter, distributed to over 700 individuals on listserve, achieved an exceptional open rate of 44.8% , which far exceeds the industry average. In the spring of 2022, Roadmap launched a new website, and most of the materials were moved there. Nevertheless, the Roadmap webpage on the ABP website still received 3,288 unique page views, and the behavioral and mental health page had 1,101 unique page views. |
