Medical errors are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. In order to better understand the impact of medical errors on the health of children, the formation of a developmental center for evaluation and research in pediatric patient safety is proposed. Pediatric patient safety issues in diverse settings will be assessed,, including: inpatient and intensive care units at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, the Emergency Department at Children's Hospital Regional Medical Center, the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Washington Medical Center, private pediatric practices located in urban and rural areas, and outpatient pediatric primary care centers that serve minority populations. A multi-disciplinary team will evaluate data from existing sources as well as develop new systems to assess pediatric patient safety. In addition, surveys and focus groups of pediatricians and pediatric nurses will be used to assess the nature of errors in pediatric medicine and the cultures existing around how these errors are managed. After an initial planning period, one or more pilot projects will be conducted by the developmental center. The overall goal of the developmental center will be to develop programs to reduce, alleviate and prevent medical errors in children. This will be accomplished by analyzing data on medical errors in pediatric patients, developing curricula for health care professionals on pediatric patient safety issues, and rigorously assessing the effectiveness of programs designed to improve patient safety. A three year program is planned.

医疗差错是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因。为了更好地了解医疗差错对儿童健康的影响，建议成立一个儿科患者安全评估和研究发展中心。将评估不同环境中的儿科患者安全问题，包括：儿童医院和地区医疗中心的住院和重症监护室、儿童医院地区医疗中心的急诊科、华盛顿大学医疗中心的新生儿重症监护室、城市和农村地区的私人儿科诊所以及为少数民族服务的门诊儿科初级保健中心。一个多学科团队将评估现有来源的数据，并开发新的系统来评估儿科患者的安全性。此外，调查和焦点小组的儿科医生和儿科护士将被用来评估的性质，在儿科医学和文化存在的错误如何管理这些错误。经过初步规划期后，开发中心将开展一个或多个试点项目。发展中心的总体目标是制定减少、减轻和预防儿童医疗差错的方案。这将通过分析儿科患者的医疗差错数据，为儿科患者安全问题的医疗保健专业人员开发课程，并严格评估旨在改善患者安全的计划的有效性来实现。一个为期三年的计划正在制定中。
