Abstract
Paediatric chest pain is common, yet there remain significant barriers to educating and reassuring patients and their families. In July 2014, a blog titled 6 Questions to Ask When Your Child Complains of Chest Pain was posted to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center website to help educate children and parents about paediatric chest pain. The enhanced interactions through internet-based resources create the opportunity to address chest pain in a way that both educate and provide reassurance. Through the reassurance, there is the potential to meaningfully reduce patient stress all while also decreasing medical costs and potential medical visits.
