Improving the Resident Educational Experience in a Level IV Neonatal/Infant Intensive Care Unit.

ABSTRACT: The neonatal/infant intensive care unit (N/IICU) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is a 98-bed, level IV unit through which second-year pediatric residents rotate monthly. We developed a quality improvement project to improve the resident educational experience using goal setting. Primary objectives were to increase resident educational goal identification to 65% and goal achievement to 85% by June 2017. Secondary objectives were to (1) increase in-person feedback from fellows and/or attendings to 90% by June 2017 and (2) sustain improvements through June 2018.

Methods

The quality improvement team developed a driver diagram and administered a baseline survey to 48 residents who had rotated through the N/IICU in the 18 months before the project. Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles targ
