Parental Insights into Improving Home Pulse Oximetry Monitoring in Infants.

Unlabelled: Home pulse oximeters prescribed for infants with cardiorespiratory conditions generate many false alarms, which create caregiver stress and sleep disturbance and can lead to unsafe practices. Additionally, relationships among oximeters, alarms, and everyday living demands are not well understood. Therefore, we aimed to gather parent perspectives on home pulse oximetry monitoring during the problem analysis phase of a quality improvement (QI) initiative.

Caregivers' Perceptions and Hospital Experience After a Brief Resolved Unexplained Event: A Qualitative Study.

Background And Objectives: The American Academy of Pediatrics published guidelines for evaluation and management of lower-risk infants for a brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE). The guideline identified gaps in knowledge related to caregiver satisfaction, anxiety, and family-centered educational strategies to improve caregiver experience and patient outcomes. The objective of this study was to understand caregivers' experience with hospitalization for infants with BRUE, including their perception of the hospital stay, the diagnosis of BRUE, and their feelings toward the upcoming discharge from the hospital.

Impact of a Longitudinal Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Curriculum on Pediatric Residents.

Introduction: The effectiveness of longitudinal quality/safety resident curricula is uncertain. We developed and tested our longitudinal quality improvement (QI) and patient safety (PS) curriculum (QIPSC) to improve resident competence in QI/PS knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Methods: Using core features of adult education theory and QI/PS methodology, we developed QIPSC that includes self-paced online modules, an interactive conference series, and mentored projects.
