356 - BIG AND SMALL DATA: OPTIMIZING PATIENT CARE THROUGH LARGE DATABASE BENCHMARKING AND TAILORED TRANSLATION OF SMALL LOCAL DATABASES AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CRITICAL CARE UNIT

Saturday, October 26, 2024

3:15 PM – 4:15 PM PT

Room: 215-216

Workshop Description: Quality of care and improvement in critically ill children with congenital heart disease requires effective communication skills, combined with a deep understanding of pediatric cardiac care and a patient-centred mindset. These factors are crucial for quality improvement efforts in this field. This workshop aims to provide participants with invaluable insights into the utility of large databases for benchmarking as well as translation of small local, and highly relevant clinical databases into quality improvement initiatives. Whether you come from a community hospital or a large quaternary centre, this event will provide a platform for attendees to share their commitment to providing optimal care for critically ill cardiac patients as demonstrated in a pediatric setting.
Two presentations will be delivered with generous time for audience questions following each presentation:

1. PC4 (Pediatric Critical Care Consortium): Benchmarking Against Large Databases
2. Translation of Local Database to Quality Improvement Initiatives

For the first time ever as pediatric intensivists at CCC, we are incorporating a diverse multi-specialty approach, bringing together pediatric cardiac critical care, adult cardiac intensive care, pediatric cardiology, pediatric cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiac anesthesia, and nursing. This unique collaboration aims to create an unparalleled workshop experience. Furthermore, we have made significant efforts to ensure diversity and inclusivity by including participants from different generations, geographic locations, and genders. We believe that this inclusive approach will enhance the workshop's quality and provide a valuable learning opportunity for all attendees.

Through collaborative learning opportunities and presentations by multidisciplinary faculty, participants will gain firsthand knowledge about the successes and challenges encountered in specific quality projects. Real-life patient outcomes will be emphasized throughout the event, enriching the educational experience with tangible examples from clinical practice that can be applied in any center.

Interactive and Engagement Activities Description: During the workshop, all sessions will start with a clinical problem related to improving Quality Care, and will be led by national leaders in the field.

To encourage interaction and engagement, generous time (33% of conference time) will be given for participants to interact with the panel at the end of each session (18min presentations with 10min question periods after each presentation). Any questions during the symposium can be submitted electronically through the CCC app. Additionally, we will be collecting written feedback from participants to further enhance future CCS Quality Workshops.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

identify enhanced communication tools essential for effective collaboration within multidisciplinary teams as demonstrated in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit;
summarize the spectrum of quality improvement methodologies and ideas, enabling them to begin to facilitate continuous quality improvement efforts particularly in intensive care;
translate quality assurance initiatives tailored to the unique needs of their respective healthcare settings, irrespective of institutional size or resources;
identify strategies to promote continuous patient safety and quality improvement initiatives within the intensive care unit, such as medication safety, infection control, and adverse effects reduction; and
identify the importance of family and patient-centred care in critical care settings, including effective communication with families, support during stressful situations, and involvement in care decisions.
