Learning Excellence Program and Improvement of Quality Care

Improving the quality of care is a daily goal in pediatric intensive care units. Measuring patient and family satisfaction is recognized as an indicator of quality of care. A validated questionnaire was specially developed to study parental satisfaction in pediatric intensive care units. A positive multi-professional analysis of clinical situations, using appreciative inquiry, within a health service can create new opportunities for learning and innovation. The establishment of such a Learning From Excellence (LfE) program tends to increase the well-being and self-confidence of caregivers and promotes dynamic learning educational programs, including simulation.

It therefore seems important to assess the improvement in the quality of care in pediatric intensive care following the implementation of a Learning From Excellence program allowing positive reflection on practices as well as innovations within the service.
