Project Time Period
Spring 2019 through Spring 2020
Project Aims & Measurement
Primary Aim |
Increase proportion of hospital days with exclusive isotonic maintenance IVF use to ≥ 80% by May 2020. |
Primary Aim |
Decrease number of serum WBC levels (proxy for routine labs) per hospital day by 20% from baseline by May 2020. |
Secondary Aim |
Decrease proportion of time (hours) on maintenance IVF during hospitalization by 10% from baseline by May 2020. |
Process Measure |
By May 2020, the proportion of daily weight measurements will increase by 10% from baseline for patients on maintenance IVF. |
Process Measure |
Participants will attend an average of ≥75% of their scheduled sessions with project QI coaches. |
Balancing Measure |
There will be no increase in the number of floor-to-PICU transfers during hospitalization from baseline. |
Balancing Measure |
There will be no increase in the number of serum sodium lab results obtained from baseline. |
Balancing Measure |
There will be no increase in adverse events prompting a change in clinical management from baseline: hypertension or edema requiring a diuretic, hypertension requiring anti-hypertensive medication, and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT)/dialysis. |
