Paediatric Critical Care Issues Database (PaediCRID)

PaediCRID is 1

It has been 12 months since The West Midlands Paediatric Critical Care network launched the Paediatric Critical Care Issues Database (PaediCRID). PaediCRID is used to record issues involving two or more organisations which impacted on the care that a child received. The system will help us identify issues within the region, improve practice and encourage learning in Paediatric Critical Care. PaediCRID is also used to capture events of excellence within the region and to share the learning these provide. Network governance issues are being discussed at Network Governance Group, with a view to disseminating learning and identifying solutions through the quarterly newsletter and regional forums.

Background

Since the launch of PaediCRID on 28th November 2017 we have gradually seen an increase in DGH’s using the system to report both issues and excellence events. We have already seen some changes as a result of PaediCRID reporting and this has highlighted areas to discuss and learn from at our regional forums.

In total 28 issues and 13 excellence events have been reported onto PaediCRID.

One year on…

West Midlands flying the flag for Network Governance!

West Midlands are flying the flag for Network Governance!

Excellence events - themes

• Management of cardiac arrest patients
• Excellent working relationships between KIDS and DGH’s
• DGH’s managing sick patients whilst waiting for KIDS retrieval
• Extubation at DGH’s allowing patients to stay at the local hospital

cardioversion

Going forward:

Newsletter: Disseminate the learning from today’s event which will be addressing some of the issues highlighted in Paedicrid. Plan for further information gathering on some subjects and training/learning

• n others

Network guidelines? Adapt local guidelines to be applicable regionally? Will we see Excellence reporting reflecting previous issue reporting?

Keep Reporting!
