We have developed a practical guide to support the statewide implementation of the refined Victorian Children's Tool for Observation and Response (ViCTOR) chart.
The updated chart introduces a new vital sign, “Are you worried your child is getting worse?” reflecting emerging evidence that a worried parent can be as effective as standard vital signs in identifying children at risk of deterioration.
The resources provide practical guidance on implementation, including:
- identifying site champions
- timing for asking the question
- escalation protocols
- training
- electronic medical record (EMR) system integration.
They aim to support consistent adoption across Victorian health services and strengthen the safety and quality of paediatric care.
