Increasing accurate palliative care consultation in the NICU
Humphrey L, Schlegel A · Pediatrics · 2018
Background: NICU length of stay (LOS) data revealed patient outliers with significantly longer LOS and concomitant increased risk of mortality. Baseline data revealed under-utilization of Pediatric Palliative Care (PPC) consultative services in this population. We desired that those at highest risk of extended LOS with associated mortality receive early PPC consultation. Our multidisciplinary quality improvement project aimed to increase PPC consultation for NICU patients with a life-limiting anomaly identified by trigger-list tool to 80% within one year.
