Accelerating improvement: The Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative data timeliness project.

Background: The Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC3) is a learning network focused on improving acute care cardiology patient outcomes. Data submission timeliness is a vulnerability for PAC3 and most clinical registries, directly affecting collaborative benchmarking, quality improvement (QI) and research projects.

Objective: PAC3 conducted a collaborative-wide QI project addressing data timeliness and efficiency.

Paediatric acute care cardiology collaborative data registry validation.

Background: The Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC) was established to improve acute care cardiology outcomes through the development of an accurate and well-validated clinical registry. We report the validation results of the initial PAC registry audits and describe a novel regional audit format developed to accommodate a rapidly expanding membership facilitate collaborative learning and allow for necessary modification due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: Six hospitals were audited using a regional audit format and three hospitals were subsequently audited virtually.

Assessing data accuracy in a large multi-institutional quality improvement registry: an update from the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC).

Background: The Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC) is a multi-institutional quality improvement registry focused on the care delivered in the cardiac ICU for patients with CHD and acquired heart disease. To assess data quality, a rigorous procedure of data auditing has been in place since the inception of the consortium.

Materials And Methods: This report describes the data auditing process and quantifies the audit results for the initial 39 audits that took place after the transition from version one to version two of the registry's database.
