Children’s of Alabama Directory of Pediatric Services 2014 Dear Colleague, We are pleased to provide you with the 2014 Directory of Pediatric Services. Within its pages are the names and contact information for some of the brightest minds and most compassionate hearts in pediatric medicine. Please replace any older versions of the Directory with this one. You can also find the most up-to-date directory and other resources for referring physicians on the Healthcare Professional section of www.ChildrensAL.org. Last year was certainly one of change and accomplishment for Children’s of Alabama. We spent our first full year in the new the Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children and as we moved in, we immediately turned our attention to operations inside this amazing facility and to improving the medical care and processes to benefit our young patients. Of particular note were the move from UAB of the Pediatric Transplant Program, which is now certified as a stand-alone center at Children’s, and the achievement of Gold Status for LEED Certification by the Russell building. Renovations continued on the 7th floor of the Dearth Tower. There was substantial work on new clinic space in the “old” Emergency Department area and the readying of new inpatient and outpatient space on the fourth floor of the Dearth Tower for Psychiatric Services. A number of our services were recognized again in 2013 by US News & World Report as being among the top pediatric programs in the nation. Importantly, Children’s successfully completed a Joint Commission survey for reaccreditation for another three years. I mention these accomplishments here to point out that while our new building is exciting, it is what goes on inside that building and all of our facilities that is most important. Thank you for all you do to help prevent, treat and put an end to pediatric injury and disease. Very truly yours, Wm. Michael Warren, Jr. President and CEO About This publication is intended to the be a quick reference for referring Directory physicians and their staffs, providing a general overview of Children's of Alabama and its specialty care and support services on campus.

If a child is seen by his primary care doctor and is deemed ill enough to need a bed right away, referring pediatricians should call this number to make immediate placement arrangements. How does it work? 1. Receive call from referring physician 2. Obtain information about patient and a direct call-back number 3. Contact appropriate Children's of Alabama physician and initiate conference call 4. If decision is made to transfer, the Patient Placement Coordinator will call referring facility with room and phone number for the nurse to call report Physician Link (205) 638-7479 Physician Link is a telephone resource for referring physicians to use for any non-emergency issues or concerns. This is also the best way for primary care physicians and office staff to receive guidance throughout the referral process and obtain general Children's information. Referring physicians can: • Call Monday-Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm • Provide general information • Assist in patient follow-up • Assist in physician concerns • Resolve issues/concerns • Help facilitate the patient referral process Please refer to individual divisions for direct referral phone numbers. 5 Patient Referral Healthcare Information Professionals Website www.ChildrensAL.org The Healthcare Professionals Website provides forms, directions and contact information to help facilitate the referral process.
