Metric Development for the Multicenter Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes (IPSO) Collaborative.

ABSTRACT: A 56 US hospital collaborative, Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes, has developed variables, metrics and a data analysis plan to track quality improvement (QI)-based patient outcomes over time.
