Decoding Pediatric Expert Review: Insights and Strategies

Though a small percentage of pediatric medical forensic exams have positive findings, it is important that those exams are reviewed by an expert to increase accuracy of identification and to prevent “overcalling” of positive exam findings. Because of this, the National Children’s Alliance Standards of Accreditation for Children’s Advocacy Centers requires that all exams with positive or diagnostic findings undergo expert review by an advanced medical consultant. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss positive exam findings that require expert review, define the expert review process, identify strategies to maintain patient confidentiality, and provide resources for expert review. 

Presented by Jennifer Stimson, MPA, LMSW and Laci Smith, MSN, RN, CPN, SANE-A, SANE-P
