Summary

The investigators shall conduct a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of parental presence at transfer rounds on parental anxiety and patient safety following transfer from the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) to the ward. The investigators plan to test the hypothesis that parental involvement in the child's transfer, with the option of peer support, will result in measurable reductions in medication errors, unplanned nutritional and feeding management, and parental anxiety after transfer as compared to the control group. The investigators goal is to improve continuity of care by implementing multidisciplinary transfer rounds at the child's bedside in which patients and family share in the control of the management plan when a cardiac child is discharged from PCICU to the ward.
