Message from the Editor

Our continued challenges with the ongoing pandemic has once again delayed out release of this annual report. Special thank you to this year’s design and layout editor Huanli Hu, our departmental administrative support, for with her assistance, we were able to effect some small design changes to assist in making this report compact in the coming years. It is always a rewarding task for me to review and provide editorial oversight as I become aware of many of the activities in the department which have no other forum to be reported in. The Departmental Goal is still to provide a composite of departmental activities during the 2020-21 academic year and I hope you will find that this document fulfils that goal. If there are areas which could be further targeted for more detailed information please do not hesitate to provide the feedback. Please continue to provide feedback not only on this document but also the Departmental website https://pediatrics.jabsom.hawaii.edu to make our web presence meaningful and valuable to all.

Message from the Chair

In now year 2 of the COVID pandemic, we continue to empathize with those who have suffered losses and reflect on the resilience that has tested the resolve of many. With this resilience and resolve, our faculty, residents and staff are pleased to share our 2020-2021 annual report of our Department of Pediatrics, University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to accelerate changes in the way we provide medical education as well as the way we practice. Our willingness and commitment to look “Beyond” has created opportunities for exciting change.

Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets.” – Paul Batalden, MD We remain steadfast however, through these changes, in our promise to educate pediatricians to provide the physician workforce for our state, participate actively in scientific discovery and quality improvement, and partner with all entities involved in pediatric services. Collectively, this provides the best care for all children in our state. HPH, the health care system that houses our program, has a mission, “to create a healthier Hawai‘i”. Likewise, this is our mission. Health vs health care, health equity, addressing needs outside of the traditional health care system, are now an even greater part of our mission-based kuleana (responsibility).

in science and what is practiced. This is one of the important ways we maintain the trust and leadership in our community.

Our excuses for why we can’t improve sound lame when patients are in the room.“ - James Reinertsen, MD Hawaii is consistently rated by Gallop as one of the top states in the nation for well-being. In part, the strong sense of connectivity with family and community found here promotes our well-being. Our embracement of community and learning from our patients and families by listening to their stories has made community an even bigger influencer of how we recruit for fit in the residents, faculty and staff that join us. The core of our department remains our people: faculty, residents, students and staff. We are proud of and celebrate their accomplishments herein. Our deepest gratitude is extended to the leadership and staff of Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children, Hawaii Pacific Health, the John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii and all pediatric partners in the state. Their support makes our mission to serve Hawaii’s children achievable. Finally, my personal gratitude and mahalo (thank you) is extended to Dr Venkataraman Balaraman, who tirelessly continues as the editor of this year’s report.

Kenneth T. Nakamura, M.D. Professor and Chair

As the academic arm of our state’s pediatric system of care, we continue to contribute to the science of practice and to narrow the gap between what is known

DIVISION OF COMMUNITY PEDIATRICS DIVISION OVERVIEW

T

he Community Pediatrics Division is a team of general pediatricians, ambulatory pediatric subspecialists, researchers, and family advocates who are engaged in a variety of academic and direct service activities that support a common philosophy that pediatrics must aim to treat children as human beings and consider the full context of their lives—their families, communities, cultures, and personal stories. The philosophy is promoted by engaging in clinical care in a variety of hospital and community settings; by training others about the practical application of community pediatrics; by advocating for policies and practices that will weave these values into the health care system; and by conducting research to develop new ideas and to improve practices. The need for community pediatrics is especially pronounced when looking at underserved and vulnerable children. Therefore, the Division places special emphasis on programs and initiatives that will improve care for these populations.

CLINICAL ACTIVITIES The Division’s clinical activities include the general and subspecialty care of children and families in the Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children (KMCWC) newborn nursery, Kapi‘olani Medical Specialists Clinics, Pediatric Outpatient Clinical and Kapi‘olani Child Protection Center, and at the Queen Emma Clinics, Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services, Family Court’s Detention Center, and the Hawai‘i Youth Correctional Facility. Division members care for about 70% of newborns delivered at KMCWC (roughly 2,500- 3,000 infants/ year). Each year, about 12,000 children visit the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for acute and Well Child Care. Division members also provide ambulatory pediatric services at the Queen Emma Clinic and Kokua Kalihi Valley Health Center. In addition, the Division provides subspecialty services in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, adolescent medicine, child physical and sexual abuse, and pediatric consultative care for children hospitalized at Shriners Hospital and general pediatric expertise for Kpi‘olani’s multidisciplinary clinics including obesity treatment and craniofacial clinic.

HAWAII INSTITUTE FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (HICORE) HICORE was developed in 2008, through generous funding from the Hawai‘i Medical Service Association (HMSA) Foundation, to provide leadership for a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort in research and education on childhood and adolescent obesity in Hawai‘i. The goals of HICORE are: 1) to serve as a repository of childhood and adolescent obesity research projects conducted in Hawai‘i; 2) to provide guidance to granting agencies and foundations regarding research priorities in the area of childhood and adolescent obesity for the state of Hawai‘i; 3) to serve as a center for the education of community members, medical students, residents, physicians, and others in the area of childhood and adolescent obesity in Hawai‘i; and 4) to conduct research on childhood and adolescent obesity relevant to people of Hawai‘i. HICORE is collaborating with the Department of Health Healthy Hawai‘i Initiative to provide a CME seminar on early childhood prevention to pediatric providers at community health centers.. Although the current grant for HICORE has run out, Dr. May Okihiro directs activities associated with the program. For more information, please go to: http://www.hawaii5210.com

2020-2021 HIGHLIGHTS We’ve been focusing on the same issue as everyone else in medicine for much of this year. In addition to our usual clinical work, we provide care for sick patients of many of the children of the pediatricians in the community who do not feel equipped to do so.

Division Chief, Gina M. French, MD is also Associate Program Director of the Pediatric Residency and the Medical Director of the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic at KMCWC and has a Pediatric Behavioral Clinic in the Pediatric Clinic that focuses on children with challenging behavioral conditions.

DIVISION OF NEONATAL-PERINATAL MEDICINE DIVISION OVERVIEW

O

ur Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) consist of 70 single family rooms, with a capacity of 84 beds. Due to poorly understood effects of COVID on low birth weight and overall deliveries in Hawai‘i and elsewhere in the United States, we did see a downward trend in census last year. There were 984 admissions to the NICU (down from 1092 one year ago). The average daily census in the NICU was 66 (down from 74 one year ago). Of these admissions, 142 were very low birth weight (down from 175 last year). The neonatology division maintains a very close working relation with the Maternal Fetal Medicine group. Weekly conferences are held with the neonatologists, maternal fetal medicine specialists and their fellows. The NICU measures its outcomes using the Vermont Oxford Network (VON) database. VON is the largest NICU database in the United States and Kapi’olani benchmarks itself to Type C units with similar risk profiles. In spite of high census and acuity in its clinical services, our NICU consistently ranks above the top quartile on all of its major VON measures, including very low birth weight (VLBW) overall morbidity, NEC, nosocomial infection, overall mortality and human milk intake at discharge. In addition to 24-hour in-house coverage in the NICU and Labor & Delivery at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children, the division also provides 24-hour consultation coverage for Level II neonatal services in Labor and Delivery and the Newborn Nursery at Queen’s Medical Center. We also provide telephone advice to Pediatricians on our neighbor islands and the Pacific Rim. To further our outreach with local and neighbor island providers, our group has traveled to provide in-person neonatal resuscitation training. During COVID, we are expanding our outreach by using on-line conferencing platforms for education. Neonatal Transport Services remain very active. The Kapi’olani transport team participated in 206 neonatal transports. Of these, 146 neighbor island transports came to Kapi’olani and 33 were taken to Kaiser Hospital. There were 42 transports from Oahu facilities to Kapi’olani. There were 18 outgoing neonatal transports, including 12 to the mainland and 6 to Straub Hospital for cardiac catheterizations. In addition, the division provides ongoing supervision and training for our highly qualified transport nurses and respiratory therapists.

assessment to the high-risk infants who are at risk for growth failure and developmental delays due to prematurity, low birth weight, and complex medical problems during the newborn period. Due to the COVID pandemic, there was an implementation of Telehealth platform for the first time this past year, at which we provided total of 102 encounters through Telehealth visits.

NICU NEURODEVELOPMENTAL FOLLOW-UP CLINIC In addition to the NICU Medical Follow-up Clinic, we also monitor developmental milestones of high-risk infants up to 2 years old through the NICU Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Clinic, where we provide serial developmental assessments. In partnership with Rehabilitation Services, and Jaymie Pinho, NNP, there were 190 visits seen at this Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Clinic last year (increased from 90 in the previous year). We also have a strong collaboration with Dr. Mari Uehara of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics in caring for these infants with developmental delays. The current Director for both NICU Medical and Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Clinic is Dr. Pattaraporn Chun.

PULMONARY HYPERTENSION TEAM The Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Team is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Neonatology, Pediatric Critical Care, Pediatric Cardiology and Pediatric Pulmonology, formed in 2016. Dr. Sheree Kuo played a lead role in development and evolution of this team and she remains an active leader in the group. The PH team, on average, follows 30-40 in-patient and out-patient newborns and children, the majority being former premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. After discharge, infants with ongoing PH are followed in the interdisciplinary Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic. In this clinic, patients are seen by intensivists (either neonatology or pediatric critical care), a pediatric cardiologist and a pediatric pulmonologist. Additional ancillary services available in PH clinic include dietary counseling, physical and occupational therapy and speech therapy.

There were 338 visits, with 229 patients seen at the NICU Medical Follow-up Clinic last year (increased from 230 in the previous year). This follow-up clinic provides outpatient care that encourages development of high-risk infants, including the assessment and monitoring of growth and nutritional needs, as well as management of the ongoing medical issues after hospital discharge. We provide clinical management, care coordination with multidisciplinary and interprofessional care teams. We also offer a developmental

DIVISION OVERVIEW

T

he Division of Pediatric Hospitalist Medicine has grown over the past 15 years and now is a division of 18 hospitalists and 1 pediatric nurse practitioner. Two years ago, the American Board of Pediatrics granted Pediatric Hospital Medicine subspecialty board status and our division has already had members sit for and pass this examination with more slated to take the exam next year. Given the effects of the global pandemic, this past year brought new challenges to the division. In an effort to maintain safety for our learners and our patients and families, while continuing to offer the highest level learning for our students and residents, we had to make adjustments to our family-centered rounds. Through the utilization of a telehealth platform we conducted family centered rounds such that residents and students were able to participate both in-person and remotely, families were involved in rounds even when visitor restrictions were in place, and interpreters were afforded the opportunity to provide realtime translation without coming in to the medical center. This innovation also reduced the use of precious PPE.1 And while caring for patients in the midst of the pandemic, division members continued to innovate in areas of teaching, quality improvement, and public health, while still remaining active on the various committees and activities of the hospital and the hospital system.

Dr. Jennifer Di Rocco has been involved on the national level in the development of the pediatric milestones utilized to evaluate pediatric residents during their training and to identify their progress along a continuum in various aspects of their training. This year she and the national workgroup were able to publish the second version of the Pediatric Milestones. She has been able to share this work at the American Pediatric Program Directors Association National Meeting and locally at Tripler Medical Center.2

Pediatric Hospitalists remain actively involved in the medical school as well, serving as advisors for the Pediatric Interest Group, in their roles as Longitudinal Clinical Mentors and as third year clerkship preceptors.

Drs. Fakaosita and Di Rocco also published an article in the American Academy of Pediatrics News about the different experience of this past year’s virtual residency recruitment season. They described the effects of the pandemic on medical students with many being pulled from rotations and some being unable to experience core rotations inperson and the effects this will have on this year’s entering intern class.3

Drs. Cheryl Okado and Jordan Kono presented Grand Rounds on Updates in Pediatric Hospital Medicine over the past year and shared important articles that were published over the last year and will impact how certain disease processes are managed.

DIVISION OVERVIEW

T

he Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is a 14-bed acute care unit with the capacity to open an additional 4 to 6 beds for intermediate level care patients. Since the opening of the new PICU in the Diamond Head Tower in September, 2016, patients are now all cared for in private rooms, and families have sufficient space to stay with their children during their PICU stay.

We admit approximately 600 children per year with a vast array of medical and surgical problems, ranging from sepsis to congenital heart disease, and respiratory failure. Patients from all over the Pacific are transported to the Kapi‘olani PICU, and we have an active, well-trained, transport team. In addition to caring for patients at Kapi‘olani, our physicians assist in the care of critically ill children at Queen’s Medical Center, and Kaiser Moanalua Medical Center. We are also involved in the care of Medically Fragile children throughout the State.

The PICU team provides complex care to the critically ill patients in our PICU. Continuous renal replacement therapy, plasmapheresis, high-frequency ventilation, and nitric oxide therapy are among the therapies available to our patients. The Hanuola ECMO program has successfully treated many neonatal and pediatric patients since 2007. In 2010, our program was recognized as a Center of Excellence for this type of life support. In September of 2017, ELSO, the national ECMO organization, increased our designation to Gold Level. August 1995, saw the start of “Heart Week.” Since then, 5 times a year for over 20 years, the congenital heart disease program has functioned smoothly with open-heart surgical patients and select interventional cardiac catheterization patients receiving post-procedural care in the PICU. The pediatric trauma collaborative care agreement between the Kapi‘olani PICU and the Surgical/Neuro Intensive Care Unit at Queen’s Medical Center has been very successful. PICU physicians have been providing consultant assistance in the management of pediatric trauma patients hospitalized at Queen’s Medical Center. With the continued development of Kapi’olani’s own trauma service, we have seen more patients being admitted to the PICU for their acute care.

The success of our research curriculum continues to build upon their hard work, passion and dedication. Mahalo nui loa to all the faculty members for mentoring, supporting, and encouraging our residents’ scholarly activity. To support the scholarly activities, we meet with the residents at least every quarter. We review and provide directions in their research work. We help identify and establish their network with the appropriate research mentors. We often help them manage any obstacle that come in their research journey. We also invite internal and external guest lecturers to discuss our resources at Hawaii Pacific Health Research Institution (HPHRI) and University of Hawaii at Manoa and JABSOM. We also conduct educational didactics via lectures on statistics, grant writing, research design and many more. Every year our pediatric residents present their abstracts at various conferences and publish their work in renowned and well respected journals. This is reflective of dedication and commitment of our residents and their mentors. This year on May 20th, 2021, we celebrated our 20th Annual Raul Rudoy Research Day. We had a total of 10 scientific presentations. This special time reflected the ongoing commitment to research and scholarly activity of the Pediatric Residency and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship programs. Awards: First Place: Rachel Palting, DO— “The Health Impact of Pediatric Diabetes and Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Hawaii.” Second Place: Rachel Santiago, MD— “Improving the Rate of Iron Prescribing for Breastfed Infants in a Community Pediatric Clinic in Honolulu.” Third Place: Lindsey Heathcock, MD— “Characteristics of Healthcare Workers with Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Hawaii from March 10, 2020, to May 2, 2020.”

Department of Pediatrics, 2021 Annual Report


Departmental Research Report Change in Leadership Venkataraman Balaraman, MBBS was named as the Interim Associate Chair for Research in the Department effective January 2021 with the retirement of Bruce Shiramizu, MD who held this position for several year. During his tenure Dr. Shiramizu working in concert with David Easa, MD was instrumental in getting the first clinical NIH grant in the department which goes by the acronym of HIPACT (Hawai‘i Pediatric and Adolescent Clinical Trials Network).

Grants and Researchers The Departmental faculty have established a very good record in procuring extra-mural grants for various research and service products. For the past several years, the cumulative amounts of these grants have been in excess of $ 1 million annually and the department ranks very highly among the other JABSOM departments in attracting these funds. Active PI’s for grants in the Department include, Venkataraman Balaraman, Andras Bratincsak, Wade Kyono, Charles Neal, May Okihiro and Richard Yanagihara.

IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN) Research Currently we are in the second funding cycle for this as a site to recruit patients in IDeA states sponsored pediatric clinical trials. Active projects under collaboration (not all funded under ISPCTN) are: 1. Eat Sleep Console (ESC) approach for management of newborns with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). The site Junior Investigators leading this are Drs. Akshatha and Kara Wong Ramsey under the guidance of Dr. Charles Neal

Children within the US. Drs. Jessica Kosut and Travis Hong will be the faculty PI’s overseeing this study. We also anticipate active recruitment for two additional studies this coming year at our site.

Biomedical Research and Innovation Center (BRIC at HPH) Two of the Departmental faculty members Drs. Andras Bratincsak and Russell Woo along with Dr. Cass Nakasone provide leadership to this center. The center sponsors a one year program in clinical research to interested faculty and is a pathway for faculty development. Funding for the program comes from HPH Medical Group with optimized use of all of HPH wide shared resources supporting research. Three of the Departmental members were BRIC supported faculty this year – Barry Mizuo, Prashant Purohit and Melissa Yamauchi.

HPH Summer Student Research Program (HPH SSRP) This program sponsored by HPH to engage college students in an eight week curriculum in the area of Biomedical Research and exposure to practice of medicine in Hawai‘i. 12-14 students are selected annually. They work with Research mentors primarily on clinical projects. This year several pediatric faculty members were research mentors to the students – Venkataraman Balaraman, Andras Bratincsak, Matthew Careskey, Jennifer King, Douglas Kwock, Len Tanaka, Kara Wong Ramsey, Loren Yamamoto and Melissa Yamauchi.

Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Protocols Dr. Wade Kyono acts as the site PI for all pediatric oncology studies done under the auspices of COG at Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women and Children

2. Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC-RECOVER) is a study getting off ground to look at the outcomes in 1000
