Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Intervention (Single Arm)

Arm Description

The intervention is a combined educational outreach and audit and feedback strategy that includes providing the hospital's own continuous pulse oximetry use data back to them on a weekly basis. The data will be accompanied by staff-targeted educational materials and outreach sessions summarizing the current evidence and guideline recommendations for continuous pulse oximetry use in bronchiolitis.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Audit & Feedback Feasibility Using Adapted Item From Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)
The participant rates the feasibility of the intervention based on this statement: "Data feedback about our use of continuous pulse oximetry in patients with bronchiolitis is easy to implement." Data was only collected from the "STAFF SURVEYED - Intervention (Single Arm)" Arm/Group for this Outcome Measure.
Audit & Feedback Acceptability Using Adapted Item From Acceptability of Intervention Measure (FIM)
The participant rates the acceptability of the intervention based on this statement: "I like the data feedback." Data was only collected from the "STAFF SURVEYED - Intervention (Single Arm)" Arm/Group for this Outcome Measure.
Audit & Feedback Appropriateness Using Adapted Item From Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM)
The participant rates the appropriateness of the intervention based on this statement: "Data feedback about our use of continuous pulse oximetry in bronchiolitis seems like a good match for our non-ICU floors that care for bronchiolitis." Data was only collected from the "STAFF SURVEYED - Intervention (Single Arm)" Arm/Group for this Outcome Measure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Hospital-level Percentage of Patients Continuously Monitored When Not Receiving Supplemental Oxygen
Continuous pulse oximetry use rates in children with bronchiolitis who are not requiring supplemental oxygen administration. This is calculated as the number of patients continuously monitored when not receiving supplemental oxygen divided by the total number of patients observed when not receiving supplemental oxygen.
Sensitivity of the Presence of Electronic Health Record (EHR) Data From the Medical Monitoring Device for Actual Monitoring at the Bedside in Bronchiolitis. Sensitivity is Also Referred to as the "True Positive Rate."
This measure will be calculated using chart review (to determine presence of electronic health record data from the medical monitoring device) and direct observation (to determine actual monitoring at the bedside). This outcome compared EHR data at minute 0 (same minute as direct observation occurred). The numerator is the number of patients with EHR data from the medical monitoring device. The denominator is the number of patients who were truly monitored.
Specificity of the Absence of Electronic Health Record Data From the Medical Monitoring Device for Absence of Monitoring at the Bedside in Bronchiolitis. Specificity is Also Referred to as the "True Negative Rate."
This measure will be calculated using chart review (to determine presence of electronic health record data from the medical monitoring device) and direct observation (to determine actual monitoring at the bedside). This outcome compared EHR data at minute 0 (same minute as direct observation occurred). The numerator is the number of patients with absence of EHR data from the medical monitoring device. The denominator is the number of patients who were truly not monitored.
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of the Presence of Electronic Health Record Data From the Medical Monitoring Device for Actual Monitoring at the Bedside in Bronchiolitis.
This measure will be calculated using chart review (to determine presence of electronic health record data from the medical monitoring device) and direct observation (to determine actual monitoring at the bedside). This outcome compared EHR data at minute 0 (same minute as direct observation occurred). The numerator is the number of patients who were continuously monitored at the bedside. The denominator is the number of patients who had EHR data suggesting that they were continuously monitored.
Negative Predictive Value of the Absence of Electronic Health Record Data From the Medical Monitoring Device for Absence of Monitoring at the Bedside in Bronchiolitis.
This measure will be calculated using chart review (to determine presence of electronic health record data from the medical monitoring device) and direct observation (to determine actual monitoring at the bedside).

The denominator is the number of patients who had EHR data suggesting that they were NOT continuously monitored.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective is to measure the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of audit and feedback with educational outreach as a strategy to align continuous pulse oximetry use in stable bronchiolitis patients with evidence and guideline recommendations.
Detailed Description
Continuous pulse oximetry (SpO2) monitoring has revolutionized detection of oxygen desaturation in operating rooms and other high-risk areas, improving outcomes in those settings. However, research suggests that overuse of continuous SpO2 monitoring in stable children with bronchiolitis who are unlikely to benefit from it is low-value care that places some children at risk of adverse outcomes. Despite national guidelines discouraging continuous pulse oximetry use in stable bronchiolitis patients, 46% of those infants and children are continuously monitored. This pragmatic, prospective, non-randomized, single-arm feasibility pilot will be performed on non-Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospital units that care for bronchiolitis patients. The primary subjects are hospital staff who order or manage continuous pulse oximetry monitoring for bronchiolitis patients; secondary subjects are patients age 2 through 23 months with a primary diagnosis of bronchiolitis.
