Local and national leaders present pediatric topics in their area of specialty during this monthly series. 

This Grand Rounds will present a multidisciplinary, data-enabled model for improving care for children with epilepsy, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, and type 1 diabetes in rural Kansas. These families often face limited access to pediatric specialists, long travel distances, fragmented care, and delays in diagnosis and treatment. The session will address the education gap among clinicians regarding the use of risk stratification, telemedicine, shared care plans, clinical decision-support tools, and coordinated specialty-primary care partnerships. By strengthening provider knowledge and collaboration across neurology, pulmonology, sleep medicine, endocrinology, and primary care, the program has the potential to improve disease control, reduce avoidable emergency visits and hospitalizations, lessen family travel burdens, and build sustainable specialty-care capacity within rural communities.
