Improving patient safety for children and young people requires not only robust measurement systems, but also intentional integration of patient and family voices into care.
In this one‑hour hybrid seminar, Ìý– Professor of Pediatrics and Policy at the University of California, San Francisco, and Vice Chair of Health Services Research in Pediatrics – will present highlights from her nationally recognised research programme focused on paediatric patient safety, quality, and equity.
Dr Bardach will share work from her NICHD‑funded research examining inpatient safety events reported directly by patients and families using mobile technology, and how rapidly sharing these observations with hospital staff can drive meaningful safety improvements.
Drawing on her experience developing and testing paediatric quality measures across conditions such as asthma, sickle cell disease, and mental health, she will explore how implementation and dissemination science can strengthen safety efforts while advancing equity.
The seminar will combine a focused presentation with discussion, offering space to reflect on transferable lessons across care settings. This session will be of particular interest to those working in paediatric and young people’s patient safety and quality improvement, or inpatient safety more broadly.
