[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, I guarantee you landed yourself on a special call list for "frequent flyers" of the Children's ER. [/b]

Children's is not tracking down the school nurse for every DCPS student who goes to their ER. 
They have a threshold for outreach and you crossed it with your ER utilization.

These protocols are there to protect kids who: 
--are using the ER instead of primary care
--may need school support of the chronic health concerns that are causing this level of acute care utilization [/quote]

[b]WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG!!! [/b] Sorry to shut down your conspiracy theory, but according to the hospital administrator I spoke to last week, their goal is to reach out to school nurses regarding any public or charter school student who was recently seen in their ER. Now whether or not they meet that goal, I don't know...but that is their goal nonetheless.

With regard to our personal situation...not only do we have a pediatrician, but our pediatrician is a part of the Children's network. And we don't need the school's support for anything other than educating our children.[/quote]
