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.
