  • 在新生儿重症监护病房进行的新生儿手术环境中的错误和不良事件
    Operations and procedures are commonly performed in the NICU. However, this is often performed in suboptimal conditions. Errors, adverse events, and good catches in this operative environment is unknown. This NIH-funded observational study will determine the types and incidence of errors and adverse events associated with neonatal surgery performed in the neonatal intensive care unit.
  • 手术团队遵守术前清单和抗生素管理：质量改进项目和评估儿科手术术前清单的实施
    许多医院授权围手术清单，这是基于利用世界卫生组织（WHO）“手术安全清单”的发病率和死亡率的降低。尽管在我们的医院系统中实施了适当的围手术清单，但没有正式的全系统培训，但据报道，对清单的遵守情况为100％。但是，临床实践与所报告的合规性不一致。
    认识到当前清单过程中的缺乏症已发展为医院范围内的一项计划，以开发出儿科特定，有意义的清单，该清单包含并解决了照顾儿科手术患者的关键问题。这项前瞻性观察性研究评估了实施后6个月内WHO手术检查清单的12个结构前组件的完成。
  • 分析对基于SCIP的抗生素预防的依从性。
    手术护理改进项目（SCIP）建议预防抗生素预防的适当光谱和时机，以防止手术部位感染（SSIS）。但是，新兴数据表明，尽管依从性提高，但SSI并未减少。此外，与SCIP感染指南相关的全有或无名现象。尽管在小儿手术手术中常规地施用了抗生素预防，但在每种情况下，都可能不会遵守适当的基于证据的实践。这项观察性研究旨在评估基于SCIP的手术抗生素预防的依从性和依从性。
  • 医院质量报告无法准确测量医院质量。
    Surgical site infections (SSI) are utilized as a measure of hospital quality. Typically, hospital infection control programs assign surgical wound classification (SWC) based on data from the medical record. This SWC is frequently recorded by the operating room support staff and may not be confirmed by the operative surgeon. The hospital assigned SWC is used to risk-stratify operations for the likelihood of SSI development. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of hospital-documented compared to surgeon-based SWC in pediatric appendectomies, considered to be the correct classification in a multi-center study.
  • Timing of Inguinal Hernia Repair in Premature Infants: A Randomized Trial
    The impact of the timing of inguinal hernia (IH) repair on the overall incidence of adverse events in premature infants who have an IH diagnosed while in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is unknown. Due to the lack of evidence related to the impact of timing of this surgical treatment, we aim to complete a pilot multi-center randomized clinical trial (RCT) with a limited enrollment period to assess the feasibility of a subsequent definitive trial. This study evaluates the impact of the timing of inguinal hernia repair on the overall incidence of adverse events in premature infants who have an inguinal hernia diagnosed while in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
  • Improvements in patient safety culture in a pediatric perioperative environment requires a multi-faceted approach
    Given increased healthcare costs and concerns about patient safety, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued two landmark reports that explained to the healthcare community the importance of examining the role of organizational factors on healthcare quality and patient safety outcomes (HQPSO).To Err is Human专注于患者安全文化的重要性和跨越质量的鸿沟讨论了组织可以最好地支持和吸引员工提供安全和高质量护理的方法。IOM认为，这些组织因素对于预测医疗保健环境中的HQPSO应该很重要，因为这些因素对于预测其他高风险行业的结果至关重要（即航空，核能）。The first of these organizational factors – patient safety culture – refers to “the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization’s health and safety management.”1The safety culture concept, exhibited by high reliability organizations (HROs) and adopted by healthcare, minimizes adverse events in complex and hazardous setting. To improve a sustainable patient safety culture, we instituted a multi-faceted safety program, patterned after HROs and designed specifically for the pediatric perioperative environment (micro-system). This study evaluates the impact of this program on safety culture in a pediatric perioperative environment.
