Metric development for the multicenter Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes (IPSO) Collaborative.
A 56 US hospital collaborative, Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes (IPSO), has developed variables, metrics and a data analysis plan to track quality improvement (QI)-based patient outcomes over time. Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes expands on previous pediatric sepsis QI efforts by improving electronic data capture and uniformity across sites. This paper describes the metric development for the multicenter IPSO Collaborative.

Development of a quality improvement learning collaborative to improve pediatric sepsis outcomes.
Researchers developed a multicenter quality improvement learning collaborative of US children's hospitals. They created a key driver diagram (KDD) with the aim of reducing both the sepsis-attributable mortality and the incidence of hospital-onset sepsis in children. The KDD primary drivers focused on improving the following: treatment of infection; recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of sepsis; de-escalation of unnecessary care; engagement of patients and families; and methods to optimize performance. The Children's Hospital Association Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes collaborative aims to improve sepsis outcomes through collaborative learning and reliable implementation of evidence-based interventions.
