| Popis: | Engaging family advisors in pediatric quality improvement (QI) efforts is well-studied in intensive care but less understood in other settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived impact of including a family advisor as a colead on a QI initiative that successfully improved the family-centered timing of routine morning blood tests performed on pediatric inpatients. Five structured written reflections from core QI team members were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis and 3 major themes were identified. The first found that a family advisor’s presence from the beginning of a QI initiative helps inform project design. The second determined that family partners working with residents fostered a better shared understanding of the role of trainees and caregivers in improving the quality of care. The third found that a family partner is an effective change agent to enact practice improvement, support professional development, and enhance resident education. Our qualitative analysis showed that engaging a family advisor as a colead influenced the design, implementation, and post-intervention impact of the initiative and improved family-centered outcomes. |
