Diagnoses for pediatric elevated blood pressure and adolescent depression improved and were sustained with interventions from an American Academy of Pediatrics collaborative, AHRQ-funded research showed. The interventions were developed by an American Academy of Pediatrics Quality Improvement Innovation Network that included 43 randomized practices nationwide. AHRQ-funded research also show that missed or delayed actions for laboratory tests with abnormal results improved during the maintenance phase and after the intervention. The research was used to develop AHRQ's Reducing Diagnostic Errors in Primary Care Pediatrics Toolkit. The research results were published in the journal Pediatric Quality & Safety.
