EnterVue:Pediatrics^©
National Conference Presentation in Washington D.C.

The EnterVue^© team was on hand in Washington D.C. to present the system at a forum sponsored by the National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM). Brad Ummer, a Principal Partner of FliK and a developer of the EnterVue^© system, presented to an audience of approximately 150 doctors, health plan executives and managers, health care practitioners, federal, state and local officials, and other organizations, policy makers, and researchers. The forum was entitled Improving Children's Mental Health: The Bright Futures Approach and was held on February 5, 2002 in the Crystal Ballroom of the St. Regis Hotel in D.C.

During the Assessments and Supervision in Primary Care session, Mr. Ummer was joined by Michael Jellinek, MD and Barbara Howard, MD in discussing the Bright Futures screening guidelines and innovate ways in which the guidelines are being implemented. Bright Futures is a national initiative of the U.S. Maternal Child Health Bureau designed to improve preventive care for children and adolescents.

Dr. Jellinek is Chair of the development of the recently published guide Bright Futures in Practice: Mental Health and is the creator of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC), a screening instrument used nation-wide to alert doctors to potential developmental problems in children. Dr. Kelly Kelleher, M.D., M.P.H., a Principal Partner of FliK and a medical content provider for the EnterVue^© system, also served as a Chair on the Mental Health guide, as did Dr. Howard.

The EnterVue^© presentation focused primarily on the development of the system, which was based on research conducted by a group of doctors from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh lead by Dr. Kelleher. Their team conducted waiting room assessments with paper and pencil surveys on over 24,000 children from 402 physicians' offices, and from their findings arose the framework for EnterVue^©. The EnterVue:Pediatrics^© module of the system is based largely on nationally-recognized screening instruments, including Bright Futures and Dr. Jellinek's PSC.

During the session Mr. Ummer presented preliminary results gathered during the first month of EnterVue^©'s operation, which is currently under deployment. Initial results are extremely positive, with and average increase of 76% in the number of topics addressed by doctors during the patient's visit. Patients are also endorsing the system, with 57% of individuals polled rating their conversation with their doctor as "Much more satisfying" than their last visit without EnterVue^©.

An aggressive deployment schedule was presented, with all beta test sites completed and operational by the end of March 2002. Additional select installation sites are actively being considered for a second phase of system deployment and expansion during the first and second quarters of 2002. Many of the conference's attendees expressed an interest in participating in the second phase and were directed to EnterVue^©'s web site to request information (http://www.entervue.com/contact.php) about becoming an EnterVue^© office.
