Volunteers Needed to Collect Heat Data |
As pediatricians know, high temperatures and extreme heat can cause children to become sick very quickly.
In an effort to help inform policies and projects that address heat-related health issues, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NOAA) is collecting data to reveal heat islands, urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures largely due to their built environment.

Do you talk with patients about climate change? |
Nevada AAP Chapter Climate Advocate Debra Hendrickson, MD, FAAP, on behalf of fellow pediatricians and the University of Pittsburgh, are inviting Nevada pediatricians to participate in a research survey to learn more about the opinions and practices of pediatricians and pediatric providers regarding discussing climate change within pediatric clinical settings.
This study includes a 5-minute online survey reporting your opinions on discussing the health effects of climate change with patients and families. Following the survey, you will have a chance at one of twenty $50 Amazon gift cards. Chances of being chosen are expected to be approximately 1 in 20. In a second survey, you will be asked to enter personal contact information. This is only to contact you if you are chosen to receive a gift card and will not be linked to your first survey answers.

Deadline: Nevada Medicaid QRR
All Nevada Medicaid doctors (provider type 20) have until September 16, 2022 to complete and submit the Quadrennial Rate Review (QRR). This is a great opportunity to report to the state the actual cost of delivering care. If enough doctors report that Medicaid is underpaying them, the state must increase rates. The process of reporting cost of care is not an easy one but well worth it to ensure adequate reimbursement. Doctors will not be invited to complete a rate review again until 2026.
