      abstract = {Background: Spina bifida is a congenital neural tube  defect affecting the spine, spinal cord, and brain with  lifelong health-related consequences. Early recognition and  comprehensive care improve long-term health, well-being,  quality of life, and decrease the use of emergency services  and hospitalizations. Current evidence-based care  guidelines are not easily interpreted in busy care  settings.

Conclusions: The implementation of the  intervention is dependent on provider buy-in and perceived  benefit. Additional PDSA cycles are needed for continued  modification of the  schedule to support consistency and  documentation of evidence-based guidelines in the care of  patients with spina bifida. The periodicity schedule can be  used in any care setting, takes minimal additional charting  time, and would be helpful for tracking care metrics.   },
