Background: Delays in the discharge process of hospitalized patients impact patient flow and lead to increased costs and slower progression of care. As hospitalist work becomes increasingly shift based, there are concerns for proper patient handoffs and hesitancy with clinical progression of care overnight. This leads to daytime patient flow congestion and is a significant […]

Background: The Improving Pediatric Patient-Centered Care Transitions (IMPACT) Multi-site Quality Improvement Collaborative aims to improve discharge transitions by testing a patient-centered transition bundle. Teach-back is a core component. This is a well-established method of confirming understanding. However, limited evidence exists about the effect of using teach-back for pediatric discharge education on parental knowledge/understanding of essential […]

Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) publishes core pediatric clinical practice guidelines advising pediatricians on evidence-based management of common diagnoses. However, multiple studies demonstrate poor guideline compliance by pediatricians. There is no published curriculum on how to teach these guidelines, and on a national survey we conducted of pediatric residency training programs, only two […]

Background: How to combat the corrosive effects of burnout during residency training remains a persistent question, but a supportive working environment has shown to be a protective factor. Purpose: The Golden Ticket Project (GTP) is a novel wellness pilot program designed to encourage peer recognition within a pediatric residency program. Description: METHODS: Through an electronic […]

Background: Despite the growing emphasis on high-quality HCT, there remains a paucity of evidence to guide inpatient providers in transitioning adolescents to adult medical care. An inter-professional team at our institution created a video incorporating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) concepts as the educational construct emphasizing key elements of HCT. The objectives were to determine the effect […]

Background: Improved outcomes in pediatric to adult-oriented HCT especially for children with special health care needs (SHCN) are a national objective of Healthy People 2020, with only 40% of adolescents with SHCN currently meeting the national core outcomes in pediatric to adult-oriented HCT. Despite the potential of hospitalized AYA being higher utilizers of the health […]

Background: We previously reported an estimate of the national pediatric (ped) bed census that demonstrated a 4% loss of total med/surg/PICU beds from 2002 to 2011. A deeper look revealed -7% med/surg beds, +12% PICU beds, a loss in beds at small (sm) and medium (med) sized hospitals as well as non-freestanding children’s (nonCH) hospitals […]

Background: Post discharge (d/c) follow-up calls are utilized for many reasons: monitoring patient (pt) status, understanding of d/c instructions including medications and appointments, and satisfaction with hospital care. Adult data suggests such calls improve satisfaction and may impact readmission rates. Little data about the impact of such calls on pediatrics pts exists. Our objective was […]
