Respiratory Support and Treatment for Efficient and Cost-Effective Care

Description

This project aims to answer the essential questions about the management of acute, pediatric respiratory illness, accelerate recovery from these all-too-common diseases, curb unnecessary costs of care, and demonstrate UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh's capabilities as the premier, world-class leader in the arena of pediatric learning healthcare systems. REST EEC will focus on the question of whether clinical decision support (CDS) facilitates the standardization of the initiation and weaning of heated high flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) for bronchiolitis.REST EEC will focus on whether the application of CDS improves adherence to a standardized guideline and leads to improved patient-centered outcomes.
