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. 000009691 650__ $$aQuality of Life$$025032 000009691 650__ $$aPreventive Medicine$$024585 000009691 650__ $$aPediatrics$$023687 000009691 650__ $$aSpinal Dysraphism$$028908 000009691 650__ $$aFollow-Up Studies$$019166 000009691 650__ $$aBenchmarking$$032042 000009691 650__ $$aEvidence-Based Medicine$$031532 000009691 650__ $$a Documentation$$018012 000009691 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009691 7001_ $$aChaney, Jessica$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009691 8564_ $$9aac475d3-3913-4568-bb86-9ba31d9be283$$s277084$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9691/files/Chaney.Jessica.2022.pdf 000009691 905__ $$a/rest/prod/9z/90/30/61/9z903061d 000009691 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9691$$pstudent-work 000009691 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
