Diagnosis & Management of Infantile Meningitis
Meningitis accounts for one of five Pediatric claims. Over a third of these involve children under a year old. Preventable errors compromise patient care and cause many of these claims. And the financial costs are staggering: over half of the total paid losses for all meningitis claims involve children under a year old.
This program reviews how to properly diagnose infantile meningitis, and offers ways to overcome some common pitfalls that lead to bad outcomes.
At the conclusion of this activity physicians should be able to:
- Why we must effectively diagnose and treat infantile meningitis.
- How to properly diagnose infantile meningitis.
- How to overcome some common pitfalls that lead to bad outcomes.
