Summary

This study will utilize an iterative quality improvement process to identify and address delays in the pediatric hospital discharge process.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Hospitalization

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pediatric discharge process interventions

As this is an iterative quality improvement process, interventions will be evidence-based and chosen to test effectiveness for addressing areas of discharge bottlenecks or inefficiency within our specific hospital's context. Examples of possible interventions may include implementation of a discharge risk assessment (as in Statile et al, Pediatrics 2016), institution of a "medications-in-hand" policy on hospital discharge (as in Sauers-Ford et al, Pediatrics 2016), or initiation of a ward discharge coordinator who will help coordinate outpatient follow-up for patients. Interventions will be implemented in a stepwise fashion, utilizing successive plan-do-study-act cycles, with a minimum 2 month period between interventions to monitor outcomes.
