Background: Checklists have been found to improve patient outcomes in a variety of health care settings, but use is rare during general pediatric rounds. We aimed to decrease length of stay (LOS) by 10% within 12 months through the standardized delivery of 8 aspects of hospital care for the general pediatric unit.
Methods: For the general pediatrics unit at our freestanding children's hospital, a clinical rounding checklist was developed through a consensus of teaching faculty.
