Effect of a Real-Time Pediatric ICU Safety Bundle Dashboard on Quality Improvement Measures.
Patient daily goal sheets have been shown to improve compliance with hospital policies but might not represent the dynamic nature of care delivery in the pediatric ICU (PICU) setting. A study was conducted at Children's National Health System (Washington, DC) to determine the effect of a visible, unitwide, real-time dashboard on timeliness of compliance with quality and safety measures. ⋯ A unitwide dashboard can increase awareness for potential interventions, affecting patient safety in the PICU in a dynamic manner.
