Clinical Impact of a Standardized Risk-Stratified Thromboprophylaxis Protocol for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical impact of an institutional thromboprophylaxis protocol in patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), who are at increased risk for thromboembolism (TE).

Study Design: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of children less than 18 years between March 2020 and December 2021. Eligible patients were confirmed with MIS-C and were managed with a standardized multidisciplinary treatment approach that included a thromboprophylaxis protocol to guide and unify clinical practice.

A Multimodal Quality Improvement Curriculum for Pediatric GME Program Directors.

The 2016 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Clinical Learning Environment Review report identified knowledge gaps for quality in the clinical environment. It suggested quality improvement (QI) training is necessary to develop skills to improve health care quality. However, at the authors' institution, there is limited department-level QI mentorship and engagement, thus limiting QI experiences for residents and fellows.
