Approach to Pediatrics Patient

Dr.Rini Andriani, SpA

 Challenge to Pediatricians
• 1. All Families have to access adequate
perinatal, preschool, and family planning
services
• 2. The need for reducing unintended injuries
and environmental risks
• 3. The need for research in biomedical and
behavioral science, in the particular problems
of mothers and children
 Need for Quality Improvement
• There is a significant quality gap between
known and recommended evidence-based
care, and the actual care that is delivered.
• 50% in adult, only 46% in pediatrics
 Ethics in Pediatrics Care
• A branch of bioethics that analyzes moral
aspects of decisions made relating to the
health care of children.
• The autonomy driven framework of adult
medical ethics is replaced by a beneficent
paternalism in pediatrics.
• In older children the concept of assent suggest
that the voice of the patient must be heard.
