Reminder- PALISI Approved Survey: Review of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Morbidity and Mortality Conference Practices Across Children's Hospitals

Dear Colleagues,

We are conducting an international survey to further evaluate how morbidity and mortality conferences are conducted in pediatric intensive care units. We are asking you to participate in this survey if you currently work in a pediatric intensive care unit, including specialized pediatric ICUs (pediatric neuro ICUs, cardiac ICU, surgical ICU etc). Insight from all workforces within the pediatric ICU is welcome (physicians including trainees, nurses, respiratory therapists, advanced practice providers, pharmacists).

The goal of this survey is to evaluate opinions on morbidity and mortality conferences, assess variations in these conferences, and identify areas of improvement for these conferences.

Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and confidential. The survey should take 5 to 7 minutes. You may choose not to participate. No identifiable information will be obtained, and your responses will remain anonymous. There is no benefit or cost for your participation. By submitting a response, you consent to participate in the survey research.

This study was reviewed by IRB at the University of North Carolina Medical Center and determined to be non-human subject research. Please contact (Tracie Walker, MD at tracie_walker@med.unc.edu) with any questions, comments or concerns.

Thank you for your time. We appreciate your involvement.

Many pediatric critical care providers work in several different units, sometimes in several different hospitals.

For the following questions, we would like you to answer the questions thinking about the pediatric intensive care unit in which you work the majority of your time.
