The American College of Physician Advisors Pediatrics Committee is pleased to announce their upcoming Town Hall - Obs-sessed: The Art of Pediatric Patient Status Decisions. This FREE event will be conducted virtually, taking place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 6:00pm - 7:30pm EST.

Determining the appropriate status for pediatric patients involves navigating unique clinical, payer, and regulatory challenges. Through real-world cases, this Pediatrics Committee Town Hall will explore why status matters in pediatrics with focused discussion on short-stay cases, behavioral health hospitalizations, and nutrition-related hospitalizations. Participants will gain practical strategies for documentation, medical necessity determination, and denial prevention to support appropriate reimbursement for pediatric patient cases.
