Q&A Corner

There have been several newly asked questions on the internal member website. Please use this link to respond and see all questions.

Question:

We would like to develop a pre-pump checklist to identify all components that should be completed prior to pump start. This would include not just technical pump training but other important details like carb counting/awareness, getting supplies (pharmacy/DME), school management, follow up for advanced skills, who to call for help, etc. Do any centers currently use a tool like this to help make the transition to pump smoother?

Question:

Do other pediatric centers have transition navigators and/or complex care navigators? If so, would you be willing to share the job description and/or describe the roles and responsibilities of the position? Thanks in advance!
