Our conversion will happen on Tuesday May 1, 2012
Three changes you will notice immediately: ~ A larger emphasis on framing visits- what will we accomplish today in the time allotted ~ Increased information gathering by the clinical staff (chief complaint, confirmation of allergies, documenting all current medications) ~ and eventually we will provide patients a clinical summary document before leaving the office.
We have been preparing for this change for many months, and appreciate your patience during the conversion. If you have an appointment in the beginning of May, please anticipate that your visit will take a little bit longer than usual at check in, during the exam, and at check out. You can help us by: - continuing to come to appointments on time, - keeping updated medication lists on hand, and - providing the scheduling person with complete information about what is to be accomplished at each visit.
Business hours will be unchanged except for hours of on-site training for all staff (April 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th from 1PM to 2PM); our answering service will be activated during these times and calls will be returned after 2PM.

Most children with acute medical problems (injury, infection, other illness) can be treated in the office, urgent care center, or emergency room and sent home. Those admitted to the hospital have problems of moderate-to-severe complexity. A hospitalist is a Pediatric doctor that specializes in the care of such children. The Children’s Hospital at Albany Medical Center provides a team of experienced Pediatric hospitalists, and we at Pediatrics Albany believe our patients will receive the best care possible utilizing the hospitalist program. Because they are working in the hospital all day, the hospitalists have greater ability to coordinate care with subspecialists, monitor patient progress and adjust treatments, supervise resident physicians, respond to test results and answer parent questions in a timely manner. We will communicate with the hospital team at admission, during the hospital stay as needed, and after discharge. Albany Medical Center is our recommended hospital for children with significant illness. Pediatrics Albany does not admit patients to St. Peter’s Hospital, except for the newborn nursery.
