Parental Recognition of the Deteriorating Child Quality Improvement Pilot Project

Children in the emergency department deteriorate unexpectedly. Many paediatric sentinel events and coroner cases have recurring themes related to a parent’s/carer’s inability to effectively escalate their concerns about their child's deterioration while in the emergency department.  Early recognition of deterioration is fundamental for providing timely treatment and improving outcomes for children in the emergency department.

Aim

Improve the early recognition of deteriorating children in the emergency department.
