IntroductionBased on a 2014 newborn education needs assessment, 39.6% of surveyed pediatric hospitalists expressed interest in receiving more education on newborn medications, and 94% were interested in computer-based learning modules as the method of learning. Thus, this module was designed to serve as a self-study tool or as a tool for small-group teaching.MethodsInitially designed for pediatric hospitalists, the module can be used for any learner interested in newborn care as it is meant to provide practical applications to the bedside clinician. This module was first implemented as part of the multimodule Newborn Care Curriculum within the pediatric hospitalist division at Children's National Health System in Washington, DC, from May to June 2016.ResultsThe module was well received, demonstrating an overall increase in learners’ knowledge after completion of the module. Feedback from learners indicated that this learning tool met their overall needs. Eighty-three percent of learners agreed or strongly agreed that the material presented in the module would change their clinical practice, and 92% agreed or strongly agreed that the module increased their comfort with teaching.DiscussionAs pediatric hospitalist programs expand in their breadth of clinical roles, they also expand pediatric hospitalists’ roles in newborn medicine. The results of the initial implementation of this module suggest that it is a useful tool to assist pediatric hospitalists with their evolving roles in newborn medicine and ultimately improve overall patient care delivery.

IntroductionBecause pediatric hospitalists have increasing responsibilities in newborn hospitalization, training in perinatal palliative care is beneficial. A 2015 needs assessment revealed 68% of surveyed pediatric hospitalists were interested in more education on this topic. Thus, this learning module was designed to provide a concise, easy-to-use introduction to palliative care for the newborn.MethodsThis module was developed as part of the computer-based Newborn Care Curriculum to fill a gap in educational resources on perinatal palliative care. The primary tool in this learning module is a PowerPoint slide show with a script in the notes section. Using the presenter mode to view the PowerPoint slide show allows the learner to simultaneously view the slides and read the script for instruction. This module was tested by members of the pediatric hospitalist division at Children's National Health System in Washington, DC. Participants completed a pretest, posttest, and module evaluation. While tested as a self-study tool, the module may also be used in a small-group teaching setting.ResultsThe module was well received during the trial. The average posttest score was 96%, compared to pretest scores of 90%. Learners' comments were overwhelmingly positive, and constructive feedback has been addressed.DiscussionThis module provides pediatric hospitalists and others who care for newborns with a well-received introduction to perinatal palliative care. The computer-based format of the module adds to its uniqueness and utility.
