RESUMO

In this quality improvement initiative, we aimed to increase provider adherence with palivizumab administration guidelines for hospitalized infants with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. We included 470 infants over four respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) seasons from 11/2017 to 03/2021 (baseline season: 11/2017-03/2018). Interventions included the following: education, including palivizumab in the sign-out template, identifying a pharmacy expert, and a text alert (seasons 1 and 2: 11/2018-03/2020) that was replaced by an electronic health record (EHR) best practice alert (BPA) in season 3 (11/2020-03/2021). The text alert and BPA prompted providers to add "Need for RSV immunoprophylaxis" to the EHR problem list. The outcome metric was the percentage of eligible patients administered palivizumab prior to discharge. The process metric was the percentage of eligible patients with "Need for RSV immunoprophylaxis" on the EHR problem list. The balancing metric was the percentage of palivizumab doses administered to ineligible patients. A statistical process control P-chart was used to analyze the outcome metric. The mean percentage of eligible patients who received palivizumab prior to hospital discharge increased significantly from 70.1% (82/117) to 90.0% (86/96) in season 1 and to 97.9% (140/143) in season 3. Palivizumab guideline adherence was as high or higher for those with "Need for RSV immunoprophylaxis" on the problem list than for those without it in most time periods. The percentage of inappropriate palivizumab doses decreased from 5.7% (n = 5) at baseline to 4.4% (n = 4) in season 1 and 0.0% (n = 0) in season 3. Through this initiative, we improved adherence with palivizumab administration guidelines for eligible infants prior to hospital discharge.
