I know what’s best for my children. The schools they should
attend. The kinds of friends they should spend time with. And
the place they need to be if one of them becomes ill: Levine
Children’s Hospital. Where dozens of world class specialists
in over 30 specialty areas provide the most advanced pediatric
care in our region. It’s my child. I have a voice.

Dear Friends,
Ten years ago we started the National Initiative for Children’s
Healthcare Quality. Why? Children were suff ering, their
families were suff ering, and our future was suff ering because
children were not getting the healthcare they needed. Health
professionals and healthcare organizations didn’t recognize
how short of the mark their care was—and didn’t have the
tools to get better. Quality improvement professionals had
their hands full fi xing the system of care for adults—where
most of the dollars and attention went then, and go now.
Why did we do it? Why did we leave the comfortable academic homes that had nurtured our careers?
Because we knew that unless we devoted all our energies—our hearts, our minds, and our hands—
every waking hour of every day to the task of making children’s healthcare better, we could not
change the world fast enough.
For me, as some of you know, the drive was personal, too. Th e care my son received for his
attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder was inconsistent—fragmented across systems and only
rarely connected to evidence. I knew that if my son, the child of a healthcare professional living in a
community overfl owing with healthcare resources, could not reliably receive eff ective, compassionate
and coordinated care, it must be even harder for others in less fortunate settings. So I committed
myself to building an organization that would raise awareness of the need for change, bring ideas and
capabilities to the fore, and help systems put these ideas into practice.
Ten years later, our job is far from done, but we have made a good start. Th e nation now knows that
our healthcare system—even that for children—is far from the best in the world, and that all health
systems could be much better. We now have examples of tremendous progress, beacons that defy
fatalistic arguments that healthcare is too complex to fi x, that children’s systems are too diff erent
for quality improvement to work. And we are just beginning to see the outlines of what it will take
to create a system that can fulfi ll our promise to reliably provide the right care to every child, every
time, and to use these same tools to help change our communities so they promote the health and
well-being of our children.
Th ank you for coming to Atlanta, and welcome to the Annual Forum for Improving Children’s
Healthcare and Childhood Obesity Congress. See what your colleagues are accomplishing every day
to make care better. Learn from experts and be inspired by leaders. Understand what policy changes
are underway to amplify your work. Join us as we celebrate together, “10 years and growing.”
Sincerely,

Without a Tracer…Your Hospital May Fail to See Risks Lurking Within the System

Keeping patients safe within the healthcare organization requires an understanding of the eff ectiveness of internal processes and risks
inherent in the system. Tracer methods are used to evaluate system functioning proactively and guide quality initiatives. Th is session will guide
participants in the development of a tracer program and describe how tracers enhance an established quality improvement program. Children’s
Mercy Hospitals and Clinics (CMHC) implemented a qualitative program consisting of 4 types of tracers. Th e four types of tracers that will be
discussed are Traditional, High Risk, Patient Flow and Patient Experience.

Clinics
Pediatric hospitals should have a particular interest in eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare, because U.S. children, as a
population, disproportionately come from demographic minority groups compared to the population overall. While it is common for healthcare
organizations to assume that the care they provide is equitable, without purposeful measurement they will not know whether this is true.
Seattle Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota have taken proactive steps to assess healthcare equity and
have implemented interventions in key areas to reduce disparities and address equity on a routine basis. Th is session will highlight the steps
needed to examine equity, including creating a sense of urgency and crafting an organizational vision. Participants will learn about the specifi c
processes, measures, interventions and programs that have been implemented to reduce the disparities and discuss how these can be adapted
to meet similar needs in other pediatric hospitals.

Patient safety is now a prerequisite in healthcare. All services need to defi ne their outcomes in terms of safety and quality. Th e vulnerability of
children makes the importance of patient safety a key factor in the delivery of healthcare delivery. Th is session will be an in-depth examination
of the fundamentals of patient safety in pediatrics and child heath and the specifi c risks children and neonates face. Th e session will focus on
measurement and how it can be used to accelerate change.

Eff orts regarding quality improvement and the evolution of expectations regarding Cystic Fibrosis care that has occurred in the last decade
are best understood in the context of the overall healthcare delivery system. Th is session will begin with a description of the national
quality initiative sponsored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Discussion will include the key role of patient registry data in spreading an
appreciation of variations in performance and outcomes; the formation and adoption of Cystic Fibrosis QI learning collaboratives; the national
benchmarking projects as a novel way to learn of eff ective approaches to care; the development of practice guidelines; and support of patient/
family involvement and transparency. Th e second part will feature a presentation of outpatient initiatives introduced by care teams at the
Emory University Cystic Fibrosis Center and affi liate program to improve processes and disease outcomes.
Making Pediatric Health Information Technology Meaningful

Inpatient and outpatient electronic health records are becoming more and more widespread; stimulus dollars promise to accelerate adoption
even more. Happily for those committed to improvement in care, health IT eff orts increasingly focus on its use to improve care.
What are the keys to using health information technology to meaningfully improve care—not simply meeting criteria, but actually improving
important processes and outcomes of care? In this workshop, you will hear from leaders in one real world integrated children’s healthcare
organization—Children’s Hospital, Boston — and how they are using technology to improve care across the continuum of care—inpatient,
outpatient and community and patient directed. Th e emphasis will be on what the keys have been to their success so that you can apply these
lessons in your own setting. Th e session will also point to some cutting edge initiatives with even greater potential to enhance quality and
family engagement. In addition, participants will learn about the federal policy environment aff ecting health IT, how it may aff ect you and
what you can do to shape that policy so that the specifi c needs of children’s healthcare are addressed.

Innovation and the Paradox of Standard WorkREGENCY VII BALLROOM
Patrick J. Hagan MHSA, President and COO, Seattle Children’s Hospital
Th e idea of using standardization to move healthcare forward contradicts one’s intuitive understanding
of what is needed to innovate and stay ahead in a complex industry. Yet the very practice of using
predictable, reliable methods within a continuous performance improvement (CPI) context is a proven
pathway to innovation and is yielding big benefi ts in quality, safety, cost, engagement and service
delivery at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Th is session will present the framework and results possible when
harnessing a data-driven and standard approach to improving processes in healthcare.
Learn about recent advances and innovations to benefi t patients, make the work of healthcare practitioners easier and achieve sustainable
change that could apply in your healthcare setting.
Patrick Hagan joined Seattle Children’s in May 1996 and currently serves as its President and Chief Operating Offi cer. Over the past 25 years he
has held executive positions at children’s hospitals in Ohio and Arizona, in addition to Seattle. Learning from the experiences of Toyota, Boeing,
Genie, and other companies utilizing continuous improvement principles and tools, Pat has led and helped develop the CPI strategy at Seattle
Children’s. Uniquely, Seattle Children’s CPI strategy builds not only upon continuous improvement methodology but also upon the Service
“Hardwiring” lessons of Quint Studer and others, and the Engagement philosophy espoused by the Gallup Organization. Th is multi-dimensional
approach has much to do with Children’s outstanding success in improving its performance in service quality, clinical access, patient safety,
staff engagement, and fi nancial results. Pat has sponsored, led, or participated in several Rapid Process Improvement Workshops, and teaches
Children’s week-long CPI Leader Training course. Over the past several years Pat has spoken at numerous conferences and institutions about CPI
and Seattle Children’s successful application of this transformative strategy.

Background Miscommunication is at the root of most signifi cant medical error. Incorporating the Pediatric Early Warning System (PEWS)
physiology-based monitoring of ward patients, we converted from a traditional Nursing Station white board to a large, EMR-connected
LCD, providing an instant “snapshot” of patient acuity thereby advancing eff orts to improve communication and situational awareness
of patient status. Our design dramatically improves organizational awareness of non-ICU patient status by attempting to reduce the
chances for miscommunication to occur. Participants will learn how this eBoard model can readily be applied to inpatient settings
by design. Modifi cations could easily be performed in almost unlimited fashion to almost any clinical scenario.
