CHAT QUALITY COLLABORATIVES

CHATQualityCollaboratives

PURPOSE

To improve the quality and safety of care and outcomes for children throughout participating children’s hospitals and their affiliated healthcare systems in Texas through collaboration and continuous quality improvement efforts.

OVERARCHING PHILOSOPHY

Utilizing the clinical systems integration model, analytics and QI methodology for design and implementation, CHAT member hospitals and children’s healthcare systems will improve outcomes for children in Texas across the continuum of care. Our guiding tenants include: • Providing a patient and family-centered focus

• Collaborating on quality and safety

• Sharing transparently for process and outcome improvements internally and externally

• Creating and driving quality and safety for the pediatric population across the state

• Improving health and wellness for pediatric patients

• Developing and implementing QI and safety initiatives

• Performing data collection and analyses that inform clinical and operational decision-making

• Disseminating QI reports and sharing best practices for rapid cycle improvement

• Supporting implementation and adoption of best practices

• Providing a collective voice and advocacy for pediatric healthcare improvement

• Establishing and fostering engagement and collaboration with pediatric care entities outside of CHAT hospitals

KEY ELEMENTS

• Evidence-based development

• Quality education

• Improvement science

• Quality improvement methodologies

• Analytics

SEPSIS INITIATIVE

Page3 v1

SepsisInitiative

Goal: Improve diagnostic recognition of pediatric patients with septic shock (through utilization of an identification tool) and escalation of care (through education and infrastructure improvements) for more timely resuscitation efforts. Key Drivers: Developed by systematically integrating best evidence with the most recent American College of Critical Care Medicine’s clinical practice parameters for hemodynamic support of pediatric and neonatal septic shock. These clinical practice parameters will be translated into care across the continuum—from ED triage assessments to inpatient and critical care units. Deliverables: Standard-care pathways for ED/urgent care and inpatient areas; endorsed metrics and scorecard; monthly progress reports, and standard educational materials Methods: Iterative change and improvement over time will include educational outreach, standardized pathways, and standardize methods of intervention to encourage timely attainment of goals and providing personalized feedback using emails, run charts and statistical process control (SPC) charts. Webpage: http://chatexas.com/quality-collaboratives/ DISLAIMER: The CHAT-S collaborative has adopted key concepts (i.e., with respect to interventions and data strategies) from the Pediatric Septic Shock Collaborative (American Academy of Pediatrics) and the Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes (Children’s Hospital Association).
