Objective: No validated tools exist to measure pediatric home healthcare quality. The objective of this work was to develop a family-reported survey (PediHome) to measure the quality of home healthcare for children with medical complexity (CMC).
Methods: A national multidisciplinary expert panel (N = 19) was convened to develop survey content domains.
Objective: Pediatric epilepsy is often associated with diminished health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Our aim was to establish the validity of the Pediatric Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System Quality of Life (PELHS-QOL-2) questions, a novel two-item HRQOL prompt for children with epilepsy, primarily for use in clinical care.
Methods: We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study to validate the PELHS-QOL-2.
Objective: Common data elements (CDEs) are standardized questions and answer choices that allow aggregation, analysis, and comparison of observations from multiple sources. Clinical CDEs are foundational for learning health care systems, a data-driven approach to health care focused on continuous improvement of outcomes. We aimed to create clinical CDEs for pediatric epilepsy.
