Abstract

 The fields of pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery have grown and progressed faster than most other fields in medicine. In this 2 volume text book, the current state of outcomes analysis, quality improvement, and patient safety are examined. Volume 1 focuses on leading work in pediatric cardiac care to understand and measure improved patient outcomes and how to establish collaborative definitions and tools of quality and outcomes measurement. Volume 2 covers the new sciences of implementation, continuous quality improvement, safety science and systems improvement.
