Specifically, it can improve vital signs, shorten time on high-flow nasal cannula, and is associated with reduced length of stay. We aimed to increase the percentage of patients receiving enteral feeding on admission with mild-to-moderate bronchiolitis, including those on high-flow nasal cannula, from 83% to 95% within 6 months.Methods: A multidisciplinary quality improvement team identified key drivers preventing enteral feeding as lack of standardization, perception of aspiration risk, and lack of familiarity with feeding orders. PDSA cycles focused on developing and implementing a bronchiolitis clinical practice pathway with an embedded guideline and order set as decision support to prioritize enteral feeding. Additionally, educational sessions were provided for trainees and attendings who were impacted by this pathway.Results: Following interventions, initiation of enteral feeding increased (83%-96%). Additionally, intravenous line placement decreased (37%-12%) with a mirrored increase in nasogastric tube placement (4%-21%). This was associated with a shorter overall length of stay and no increased transfer rate to intensive care.Conclusions: Using quality improvement methodology to standardize enteral feeding and hydration increased the initiation rate of enteral feeding in patients admitted with bronchiolitis. These changes were seen immediately after the implementation of the clinical pathway and sustained throughout the bronchiolitis season.","PeriodicalId":74412,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric quality & safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11167230/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141312484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to implement and increase the number of formally structured QI projects (primary aim) and the number of projects achieving a centerline (CL) shift (secondary aim) in our hospital's Adolescent Medicine Clinic.Methods: We used formal QI methodology to improve health outcomes by increasing the number of faculty with formalized QI education, creating interdisciplinary QI teams, and improving staff motivation. QI education was mandatory for Adolescent Medicine fellows and pediatric residents and encouraged for faculty and staff. The Divisional QI leadership team attended monthly meetings to review key driver diagrams, run and control charts, and receive intervention updates. All providers and staff received monthly updates, and the Hospital Quality and Safety Committee received biannual updates. We used run charts to share progress with primary and secondary aims.Results: Since Q3 2014, the Adolescent Medicine team consistently achieved the primary aim of having 5 active projects in process, with 9 projects from Q1 2018-Q4 2020. For the secondary aim, a target of 50% of active QI projects attaining a sustained centerline shift was achieved in Q2 2018 and maintained in 16 of 20 quarters since.Conclusions: Clinicians can use QI methodology to improve health outcomes while facilitating professional development. For this initiative to succeed, institutional leadership must provide an infrastructure prioritizing meaningful QI involvement.","PeriodicalId":74412,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric quality & safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11167228/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141312485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound (US) with ovarian Doppler is used to diagnose adnexal torsion and requires a sufficient bladder volume. Reduce the turnaround time for US by 25% in girls 8-18 years of age who present to the emergency department (ED) for 24 months.Methods: Our baseline period was from January 2020 to June 2021, and the intervention period was from July 2021 to June 2023. Patients 8-18 years old who required an US in the ED were included. There are two key drivers: early identification of US readiness and expeditious bladder filling. Interventions were (1) bladder volume screening; (2) utilization of bladder volume nomogram to identify US readiness; (3) epic order panels; and (4) rapid intravenous fluid method. The primary outcome was US turnaround time. Secondary outcomes were percentage of patients requiring invasive interventions to fill the bladder and patients with an US study duration of ≤45 minutes. The percent of patients screened by bladder scan was used as a process measure. Balancing measures used episodes of fluid overload and ED length of stay.Results: Turnaround time for USs improved from 112.4 to 101.6 minutes. The percentage of patients who had successful USs without invasive bladder filling improved from 32.1% to 42.6%. Bladder volume screening using a bladder scan increased from 40.3% to 82.9%. The successful first-pass US completion rate improved from 77% to 90% consistently.Conclusions: Through quality improvement methodology, we have identified pelvic US readiness earlier, eliminated some invasive bladder-filling measures, and implemented a rapid fluid protocol. We have sustained these successful results for 2 years. This study can be generalized to any ED with similar patients.","PeriodicalId":74412,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric quality & safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11132411/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141163101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An educator used transition readiness assessment questionnaires and discussed HCT material. The percentage of eligible youth who received HCT education and the cause for missed occurrences were tracked. Plan-do-study-act cycles began in August 2020 to improve the number of youths reached. Secondary analyses assessed improvement differences among those without cardiac procedures or disabilities.Results: HCT education provision improved from a mean of 38% to 73% in the 17-year and older age group by December 2022. Communication failure was the leading cause of missed visits in 2021 (30%), reduced to 0 by 2022 following plan-do-study-act cycles. Other missed HCT visits included clinic add-ons after screening, limited staff availability, and unidentified eligibility. Readiness assessments were similar for youth with and without prior cardiac procedures, for example, confidence in taking charge of their health care (P = 0.47) and moving to adult care (P = 0.22). Adolescents with disabilities were significantly less confident than those without disabilities in taking charge of their heart health care (6.3 versus 7.5, P = 0.04) and moving to adult care (4.9 versus 7.4, P < 0.001).Conclusions: Implementation of a CHD HCT clinic improved successful education delivery.
