Abstract Background: In pediatric cardiac care, many centers participate in multiple, national,

provement efforts. Small cardiac programs, whose clinical activities and scale may
not be well‐suited to this approach, need alternative methods to assess and track
quality.
Methods: We conceived of and piloted a rapid‐approach cardiac quality assessment,
intended to encompass multiple aspects of the service line, in a low‐volume program.
The assessment incorporated previously identified measures, drawn from multiple
sources, and ultimately relied on retrospective chart review.
Results: A collaborative, multidisciplinary team formed and came to consensus on… More >
