Children's Hospitals Today - Winter 2022 - 16

FEATURE / QUALITY
A solid foundation
As we look to the future, it is essential
we appreciate how far things have
come. " We are well prepared for this
next iteration, " says Katy Welkie, RN,
B.S.N., MBA, chief executive officer,
Intermountain Primary Children's
Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. " We
have learned a lot over the past 20plus
years. " That includes advancements
in five areas:
SAFETY AS A DOMAIN OF QUALITY.
Widespread investments in improving
safety have led to strides in this
quality domain. " It's foundational to
the care we provide, " Welkie says.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE. With an
emphasis on education, training and
home-grown approaches in quality
improvement science, thousands of
pediatric health care providers have
expanded the health care system's
potential for change.
DATA AND ANALYTICS. Growth of
institutional and comparative data
and analytical capabilities-and the
willingness to share those findings-
is essential.
LEADERSHIP. Many children's
hospitals have adopted
organizational models that
support broad improvement
through increased capacity and
infrastructure.
COLLABORATION. Children's hospitals
have uncovered better methods
for sharing information through
collaborative efforts. Reimagining
quality, and taking a step forward,
would not be possible without these
contributions and building upon
the foundation, Welkie says. " Isaac
Newton said, 'If I have seen further,
it is by standing on the shoulders of
giants,' and that is absolutely true in
the work of quality. "
New objectives, new ideas
So, what is the path forward?
While it's important to build on
the foundation that is already
established, it's also critical to blaze
a new trail. " If we keep doing what
we're doing, we're not going to get
a different outcome-we're not
going to go broader, we're not going
to go faster, and we're not going to
make a quantum leap, " says Fiona
Levy, M.D., MBA, executive director,
Sala Institute for Child and Family
Centered Care, Hassenfeld Children's
Hospital at NYU Langone. " To achieve
the outcome of significant change,
we have to change the way we
work. " Levy says the next generation
of quality will not be about one
institution, project, collaborative or
network. It's an approach and will
embody a movement of ideation,
action and learning.
