Insights

Families and healthcare professionals will co-design a rapid response app to help recognize and treat deteriorating children earlier. This tool aims to improve care for children and young people (CYP) by facilitating timely interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric critical care medicine
  • Health informatics
  • Patient engagement

Background:

  • Clinical deterioration in children and young people (CYP) leads to 85% of unplanned critical care admissions.
  • Early recognition and intervention are crucial for preventing adverse outcomes.
  • Families play a vital role in identifying and reporting deterioration in CYP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a family activation rapid response online application prototype.
  • To improve the recognition and treatment of deteriorating CYP through technology.
  • To support the Paediatric Critical Care Outreach Team (PCCOT) in family-activated responses.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential, multiple-methods study design was employed.
  • A systematic review of international literature on paediatric family activation rapid response interventions.
  • Experience-based co-design (EBCD) workshops involving parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Main Results:

  • The study protocol outlines the development process for a novel online application.
  • Participant input will inform the app's content, functionality, aesthetics, and multilingual capabilities.
  • A prototype multilingual web-based application will be developed based on stakeholder feedback.

Conclusions:

  • Co-design involving families and healthcare professionals is key to developing effective tools for pediatric critical care.
  • The developed application aims to empower families and improve response times for deteriorating CYP.
  • This initiative supports the integration of family activation into critical care outreach services.
