Closing the Loop: Program Description and Qualitative Analysis of a Pediatric Posttransfer Follow-up and Feedback Program.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Follow-up and feedback foster improvement. General emergency medicine providers working in community hospitals desire follow-up and feedback on pediatric patients transferred to children's hospitals. We implemented a novel program to provide these data to our colleagues. The objective of this study was to explore stakeholder perspectives of our program. METHODS:We provided secure, electronic reports on transfers from 7 general emergency departments (GEDs). Patient follow-up and feedback data were delivered to the GED's pediatric emergency care coordinator. Seven pediatric emergency care coordinators and 2 children's hospital liaisons participated in semistructured interviews. Five researchers coded and analyzed transcribed data using the constant comparative method of grounded theory. Codes were refined and clustered to develop themes. RESULTS:Perceived values of the program included GED appreciation of closing the loop on transferred patients, providing education, and informing quality improvement. Participants valued the concise and timely nature of the reports and their empathetic delivery. Facilitators of program implementation included established professional relationships between the GED and the children's hospital liaisons and a GED's culture of self-inquiry. Barriers to program implementation included potential medicolegal exposure and the time burden for report generation and processing. Suggested programmatic improvements included focusing on generalizable, evidence-based learning points and analyzing care trends. CONCLUSIONS:Stakeholders of our pediatric posttransfer follow-up and feedback program reported many benefits and provided key suggestions that may promote successful dissemination of similar programs nationwide. Examining data trends in transferred children may focus efforts to improve the care of children across all emergency care settings.
