As a reminder, more than 50 algorithms and other resources for PCPs are available from Seattle Children’s on our website to support your patient care.
- Please visit Algorithms for Referring Providers (conditions listed A to Z) and Provider Resources for Clinical Care (our nonalgorithm resources) to see what’s available. Remember to bookmark these sites.
- Alternatively, we created a flyer with links to the sites above and to the specific algorithms and other resources available.
- These resources help PCPs know the best treatment protocols, when to refer a patient for specialty care and which specialty clinic to refer to.
They address common questions our specialists hear and those conditions that often could be managed in primary care. Community pediatricians assisted us in their creation.
Examples of PCP resources:
- Dermatology: Acne, molluscum, warts
- GI: Constipation
- Endocrinology: Hypothyroid, obesity, goiter, precious puberty, short stature and vitamin D deficiency
- Nephrology: Proteinuria, blood pressure management, nephrotic syndrome
- Neurology: Headache
- Otolaryngology: Otitis media (acute, recurrent, chronic, acute with treatment failure), pharyngitis (acute, recurrent), sinusitis (acute, chronic), tonsillar hypertrophy
- Urology: Antenatal hydronephrosis, enuresis/incontinence (daytime and nighttime), phimosis, undescended testes, urinary tract infection and varicocele
When referring your patient to Seattle Children’s, find referral requirements and tips for each specialty on their regularly updated Refer a Patient page (find them all here).
