A typical day for a pediatrician may include appointments with sick children, conducting physicals to assess overall health, prescribing medicine, discussing treatment options with families, coordinating with other medical professionals for diagnosis, dealing with pediatric emergencies, and educating parents about their children’s illness and how to assist in the treatment process. Pediatricians may work during regular business hours or other shifts depending on the needs of their employer; some pediatricians work in private practice, and others work in hospitals and clinics that are open 24 hours a day. Most of this work is performed indoors in a medical setting.

To become a pediatrician, individuals must first get a bachelor’s degree and apply to medical school. Once accepted, they complete four years of medical school and receive the medical degree and begin a residency in their chosen field.

One of the many things you need to do to prepare for your little one’s arrival is to choose a doctor to oversee his or her health care. A pediatrician is medical doctor who manages the physical, behavioral, and mental health of children from birth until age 21. A pediatrician is trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of childhood illnesses from minor health problems to serious diseases.

Pediatricians must have basic computer skills, as lots of hospitals use digital records.

They must also have strong interpersonal skills, as most of their interaction is often with sick children and their (often worried) parents. This may be a high-stress position, so the ability to work in high-stress situations and handle unexpected issues and outcomes.

A typical day for a pediatrician may include appointments with sick children, conducting physicals to assess overall health, prescribing medicine, discussing treatment options with families, coordinating with other medical professionals for diagnosis, dealing with pediatric emergencies, and educating parents about their children’s illness and how to assist in the treatment process.

Most hospitals ask if you have a pediatrician when you go in to deliver. Your baby’s first examination may be with a hospital pediatrician or your chosen pediatrician. This depends on hospital policy and whether your pediatrician makes rounds at the hospital where you deliver. If a hospital pediatrician examines your baby, he or she will provide your pediatrician with the records from these exams.

  • How to Develop an Action Plan
  • How to Measure Quantitative Objectives
How to Develop an Action Plan

SSAL country objectives should be defined according to the three year objectives for all Stent Save a Life programmes.
A strategy then needs to be determined to achieve them.
The next step is to develop a local one year action plan with clearly defined measurable objectives. The SSAL
Task Force should take on this responsibility, since it has representatives of all key SSAL stakeholders who
can dedicate resources, expertise and multidisciplinary approaches.
The action plan operationalises SSAL goals and clearly states:

  • The aim to be reached
  • The steps that must be followed to achieve this objective, ie the activities to be performed
  • The logical sequence in which these activities must be performed
  • The dates for the beginning and end of each activity
  • The person responsible for implementation of each activity
  • The resources required for the implementation of each activity
  • The intermediate results (milestones) to be reached at the end of each activity
  • The indicators which will assess whether the activities were carried out satisfactorily
How to Measure Quantitative Objectives

Measuring progress against quantitative objectives is an important starting point for evaluating the success
of a SSAL programme.
The overall aim is to increase the use of primary angioplasty for reperfusion therapy in STEMI patients.
The following indicators can be used to assess progress:

  • Total number of primary PCI and number of primary PCI per million inhabitants
  • Proportions of STEMI patients taken to hospital receiving primary PCI, fibrinolytics, and no reperfusion therapy
  • Number of 24/7 cath labs
  • Average population size served by a 24/7 primary PCI centre
  • Number of certified interventional cardiologists
  • Overall in-hospital mortality for STEMI patients
  • In-hospital mortality for STEMI patients receiving primary PCI, thrombolysis, and no reperfusion therapy

Please refer to the section on establishing a national ACS/AMI registry for details on how to collect the data.

Stent - Save a Life!

The Stent – Save a Life! global initiative aims to improve the delivery of care and patient access to the life saving indications of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI), thereby reducing mortality and morbidity in patients suffering from acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
