Using a unique model of rigorous methodologies, tightly coordinated implementation, and large, rich data sets, hospitals participating in Collaboratives are achieving improvements at lower cost, more efficiently, and faster than any single hospital can achieve working independently.
The Collaborative network offers opportunities for all institutions caring for children to improve patient care and safety, spread innovations that work, and identify new strategies to improve care in the hospital setting.
Unlike typical time-limited quality improvement projects, these Collaborative programs offer an enduring system within which children's hospitals are working to achieve sustained, reliable improvements in care and outcomes for multiple clinical challenges.
