Innovating Pediatric Care
Our nurses are at the forefront of innovation in pediatric nursing. They contribute to groundbreaking research, lead quality improvement projects, drive evidence-based initiatives and develop new models of care tailored to the unique needs of our pediatric population. Through our professional governance structure, nurses bring their ideas forward in our Research & EBP Council and Quality & Safety Council. Since 2019, 10 research studies have been approved by the Institutional Review Board.
Our nurses have focused their work on:
- Patient outcomes, such as decreasing the number of needlesticks children require and decreasing pain with these needlesticks.
- Patient experience, such as implementing a primary nursing model.
- Nursing outcomes, such as promoting a healthy work environment.
Our nurses have gone on to share their work both locally and nationally; they have presented at organizations such as the New York Organization for Nursing Leadership, the Society of Pediatric Nurses and ANCC Magnet Conference and have published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing, as well as the Journal of the Association for Vascular Access.
