I think it would be great to have clear written instructions with precautions for each orthopedic injury for parents to give to school. My son sustained the #1 most common orthopedic injury in pediatrics, yet we were not given a written handout to provide to his school until we asked. An employee on the phone said "it would be too hard" to create written precautions for each specific injury.... Nahhhh I don't buy it. The providers review precautions for each injury anyway! Pre-formatted written instructions would be very simple for the network to create in general and then adapt to specific kiddos as needed - via something as simple as reviewing the handout in the office visit with families and by crossing off any potential non pertinent info. For example, create a long arm cast handout for BBF fxs and then when the patient progresses to a short arm cast and then a brace, provide a new handout with the updated precautions. These handouts could sit in the patient rooms and be categorized by upper and lower extremities. It truly would not add more time for providers, it would simply involve verbally and visually reviewing the handout with parents... so easy! This would also likely spark questions from parents that could get answered right there on the spot vs via follow up phone calls... also reducing risk for complications. My son occasionally got held back from activities that would have been safe for him to do just because teachers weren't sure. A handout would have clarified! This could be a great project for med/PA/ortho tech students or residents placed at your facility. Dayton Children's certainly has enough resources to do this. It's not "too hard."
