FREE Quality Improvement Project:
The Use of a Novel Clinician Support Tool to Enhance
Food Allergy Management and Prevention in Infants and Toddlers

The Food Allergy Prevention Program at MassGeneral for Children is offering a quality improvement project that focuses on the prevention of food allergies in infants and toddlers. This quality improvement project, titled "The Use of a Novel Clinician Support Tool to Enhance Food Allergy Management and Prevention in Infants and Toddlers," aims to support clinicians in implementing guidelines for the early introduction of peanuts and other allergens.

Clinicians participating in this quality improvement project will utilize the Food Allergy Management and Prevention for Infants and Toddlers (FAMP-IT.org) clinician support tool to manage infants at well-child visits. Subsequently, they will modify their clinical practice to provide appropriate recommendations for early peanut introduction. The overarching goal of this project is to modify the workflow of clinicians during well-child visits, in order to consistently support the early introduction of peanuts and improve adherence to guidelines.

The information in this PDF instruction packet will answer basic questions about how to register, as well as the purpose and procedures of this quality improvement project.
