Study Details

Brief summary:

This is a study comparing 3 years of retrospective data (pre-implementation) to 2 years of prospective data after the implementation of a pediatric version of Electronic Cardiac Arrest Risk Triage (pediatric eCART), a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that uses electronic health records (EHR) to identify patients with high risk for life threatening outcomes. Up to 30,000 encounters with pediatric patients will be assessed. Acceptability of the pediatric eCART intervention will also be measured from pediatric nurse clinicians.
