Evaluation of Pediatric eCART Implementation
A Rapid Diagnostic of Risk in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients to Improve Outcomes Using Machine Learning
University of Wisconsin, Madison
30,000 participants
Dec 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This is a study comparing 3 years of retrospective data (pre-implementation) to 2 years of prospective data after the implementation of a pediatric version of Electronic Cardiac Arrest Risk Triage (pediatric eCART), a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that uses electronic health records (EHR) to identify patients with high risk for life threatening outcomes. Up to 30,000 encounters with pediatric patients will be assessed. Acceptability of the pediatric eCART intervention will also be measured from pediatric nurse clinicians.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- All pediatric patients scored on pediatric eCART (or eligible for scoring on either algorithm in the pre-implementation period) will be screened for study eligibility.
- Patients eligible for pediatric eCART scoring include pediatric (\<18 years of age) patients
- Inpatient locations
- UW Health nurses who interact with eCART during patient care
Exclusion Criteria3
- Patients who are ineligible for pediatric eCART scoring
- Neonates and birth encounters will be excluded from the pediatric eCART study
- UW Health nurses no longer employed at UW Health
Interventions
