Article Synopsis
- Children with suspected coin-shaped foreign body ingestion need urgent evaluation to exclude the presence of a button battery, as delays can result in serious injury.
- A quality initiative was implemented using electronic medical record tools to improve triage and prompt the ordering of X-rays for these patients.
- Results showed 100% assignment to the correct acuity level after the intervention, and there was a significant reduction in the time from arrival to X-ray order and completion.
