Implementing an Electronic Health Record–Integrated Pediatric Primary Care Sleep Screener

Is integrating an electronic sleep screening tool with educational resources at well-child visits feasible, scalable, sustainable, and associated with enhanced sleep problem identification and management in primary care?This case-control study with 409 217 well-child visits among 288 307 unique patients demonstrated high reach, adoption, and maintenance of an electronic, well-child visit sleep screening tool with educational resources in a large, sociodemographically diverse pediatric primary care network, with evidence of enhanced sleep problem identification and management.The findings suggest that the sleep screener provides a feasible and scalable approach to implement American Academy of Pediatrics guidance on screening for and promoting sleep health as part of routine well-child care.
