In this episode Maxwell Cooper, MD interviews Alana Arnold, MD, MBA, a pediatric emergency medicine physician in Miami, FL and the Founder of Premier Pediatric Solutions, a consulting company that advises emergency rooms on how to triage and care for pediatric patients. Dr. Arnold sheds light on the fact that many pediatric patients are initially seen in adult emergency rooms that often do not have sufficeint training and equipment to properly treat children, often resulting in subpar outcomes for patients and unnecessary costs for hospitals. Dr. Arnold's company provides clinical simulations for the physicians and ER staff for common pediatric emergency cases, recommendations for pediatric equipment, and training for when and how to best transfer pediatric patients needing higher level care. Dr. Arnold also discusses the value she has found with her MBA and provides advice for networking.
