Pediatric Toolkit for Using the AHRQ Quality Indicators

How To Improve Hospital Quality and Safety
A stand-alone pediatric version of the QI Toolkit is available to meet the needs of hospitals that serve children, and includes a concise set of tools to facilitate efforts to improve clinical quality. The Pediatric QI Toolkit contains tools for the same six steps (A through F) as the QI Toolkit, including materials that improvement teams can use to identify and catalogue quality and patient safety concerns, educate clinical leaders and staff, and hone in on priorities. It also includes 13 indicator-specific best practices for improving performance on the AHRQ Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) and a case study of a Toolkit user in a pediatric setting. This new Pediatric QI Toolkit can be used to improve performance on the PDIs as well as other measures of inpatient pediatric quality.
