Abstract
In this chapter the reader is provided with the tools necessary to begin implementing quality improvement methodology within their home institution. Expansion of one’s quality improvement toolbox will allow successful analysis of safety events and near misses, along with strategies needed to mitigate risk and provide optimal patient-centered care for complex population of patients with congenital heart disease. Furthermore, there is an ever-expanding roll for multi-centered collaboration given the innate heterogeneity of the patient population along with the relatively rare frequency of serious adverse events. We provide important examples of successful multi-center collaboration and quality improvement initiatives which have used large datasets to provide meaningful analysis and have improved outcomes in congenital cardiac catheterization.
