Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the subjective impressions on workload demands compared to perceived benefits of a new quality improvement plan of patient care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The frequency and length of education and training sessions will also be recorded, and PICU patient charts (electronic health records) will be reviewed to document the number and frequency of consults and adherence to the patient care plan.
