In the world of pediatrics, healthcare professionals are responsible for caring for the young and vulnerable in situations where one mistake can have dire consequences. During challenging times for pediatric patients and their loved ones, hospitals should be a trusted resource for safer care. To prevent pediatric medical harm and safety incidents, health systems must prioritize cross-functional collaboration and the continuous exchange of insights. Through patient safety organizations (PSOs), providers can share data to drive improvements in safety and operational performance, uniting the pediatric healthcare community around a strong culture of safety.

In this webinar, chief medical officer at Rady Children’s Hospital, Orange Country and chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix will explore how healthcare organizations are tackling safety challenges and how the pediatric field is advancing collective learning to drive better outcomes. Faculty will highlight real examples from two leading PSOs, illustrating how analyzing connected data across systems enables care teams to identify risk factors and take proactive steps to prevent harm before it occurs.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the unique challenges in pediatric patient safety and examine how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Patient Safety Structural Measure and related regulations support the use of PSOs.
• Understand how shared learnings and collaborative participation in PSOs can help organizations determine effective strategies and apply proven safety improvements.
• Explore how national PSOs are using data-sharing, predictive tools and AI innovations to proactively detect risk and reduce preventable harm.
