Multi-sector stakeholder's perceptions of determinants of successful implementation of a pediatric weight management intervention.
The objective of this study was to examine the perspectives of local, state, and national clinic and community stakeholders as an aid to developing successful pediatric weight management interventions (PWMI) in primary care and community settings, and to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation. Stakeholders in health centers and predominantly lower income, Hispanic community YMCAs were interviewed. Twenty-six of the stakeholders perceived formal curriculum with illustrative examples, patient- and family-centered programs, group visits, and high-quality multidisciplinary personnel to be components needed for a PWMI. These responses led to the creation of a group visit curriculum, implementation trainings, and cross-site collaborative technical assistance. The authors conclude that their findings highlight the importance of engaging multi-sector stakeholders during pre-implementation to ensure that valued components are included.

Enhancing quality measurement with clinical information: a use case of body mass index change among children taking second generation antipsychotics.
The authors sought to examine the extent to which body mass index (BMI) was available in electronic health records for Florida Medicaid recipients aged 5 to 18 years taking Second-Generation Antipsychotics (SGAP). They concluded that meeting the 2030 CMS goal of digital monitoring of quality of care will require continuing expansion of clinical encounter data capture to provide the data needed for digital quality monitoring. Using linked electronic health records and claims data allows identifying children at higher risk for SGAP-induced weight gain.
