    Abstract A 5-year-old female with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy and a history of constipation presented to the emergency department with a new blistering buttocks rash, which was initially concerning for nonaccidental burn. Upon further investigation, it was found that Ex-Lax had been given to the patient for constipation. This had resulted in a bowel movement, which led to an irritant dermatitis. The patient was eventually diagnosed with senna-induced erosive diaper dermatitis. This case report highlights the importance of a thorough history and physical examination to prevent an unnecessary child abuse work-up.

    Abstract Introduction: Emergency transfers are associated with increased inpatient pediatric mortality. Therefore, interventions to improve system-level situational awareness were utilized to decrease a subset of emergency transfers that occurred within four hours of admission to an inpatient medical-surgical unit called very rapid emergency transfers (VRET). Specifically, we aimed to increase the days between VRET from non-ICU inpatient units from every 10 days to every 25 days over 1 year.
    Methods: Using the Model for Improvement, we developed an interdisciplinary team to reduce VRET. The key drivers targeted were the admission process from the emergency department and ambulatory clinics, sepsis recognition and communication, and expansion of our situational awareness framework. Days between VRET defined the primary outcome metric for this improvement project.
    Results: After six months of interventions, our baseline improved from a VRET every 10 days to every 79 days, followed by another shift to 177 days, which we sustained for 3 years peaking at 468 days between events.
    Conclusion: Interventions targeting multiple admission sources to improve early recognition and communication of potential clinical deterioration effectively reduced and nearly eliminated VRET at our organization.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the management and outcomes of healthy pediatric patients diagnosed radiologically with transient and benign small bowel-small bowel intussusception (SB-SBI).
    Methods: Retrospective cohort study of healthy patients 0 to 18 years of age who presented to a children's hospital emergency department from January 1, 2005, to June 30, 2015, and had transient and benign SB-SBI characterized by spontaneous resolution (ie, transient), diameter of less than 2.5 cm, no lead point, normal bowel wall thickness, nondilated proximal small bowel, and no colonic involvement (ie, benign radiographic features). Charts were reviewed for demographics, clinical presentation, radiologic studies obtained, outcomes, and further management. Medical and radiologic records were also reviewed for 1 year after presentation for any subsequent pathologic diagnoses.
    Results: Sixty-eight patients were included in our study, with a total of 87 episodes of transient and benign SB-SBI on initial or follow-up examination. Overall, 39 patients (57%) were admitted to the hospital, and 38 patients (56%) had a surgical consultation. Twenty-four patients (35%) had further radiologic studies obtained, including computed tomography scans, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, Meckel's scan, barium swallow studies, and magnetic resonance imaging. All studies were negative for concerning pathology including apparent lead points. None of the patients required surgical intervention or had any complications.
    Conclusions: Transient and benign SB-SBIs with reassuring radiologic and clinical features diagnosed in healthy pediatric patients are likely incidentally found and are unlikely to be associated with a pathologic lead point.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric abdominal pain is challenging to diagnose and often results in unscheduled return visits to the emergency department. External pressures and diagnostic momentum can impair physicians from thoughtful reflection on the differential diagnosis (DDx). We implemented a diagnostic time-out intervention and created a scoring tool to improve the quality and documentation rates of DDx. The specific aim of this quality improvement (QI) project was to increase the frequency of resident and attending physician documentation of DDx in pediatric patients admitted with abdominal pain by 25% over 6 months.
    Methods: We reviewed a total of 165 patients admitted to the general pediatrics service at one institution. Sixty-four history and physical (H&P) notes were reviewed during the baseline period, July-December 2017; 101 charts were reviewed post-intervention, January-June 2018. Medical teams were tasked to perform a diagnostic time-out on all patients during the study period. Metrics tracked monthly included percentage of H&Ps with a 'complete' DDx and quality scores (Qs) using our Differential Diagnosis Scoring Rubric.
    Results: At baseline, 43 (67%) resident notes and 49 (77%) attending notes documented a 'complete' DDx. Post-intervention, 59 (58%) resident notes and 69 (68%) attending notes met this criteria. Mean Qs, pre- to post-intervention, for resident-documented differential diagnoses increased slightly (2.41-2.47, p = 0.73), but attending-documented DDx did not improve (2.85-2.82, p = 0.88).
    Conclusions: We demonstrated a marginal improvement in the quality of resident-documented DDx. Expansion of diagnoses considered within a DDx may contribute to higher diagnostic accuracy.

    Abstract Objective: To develop a diagnostic error index (DEI) aimed at providing a practical method to identify and measure serious diagnostic errors.
    Study design: A quality improvement (QI) study at a quaternary pediatric medical center. Five well-defined domains identified cases of potential diagnostic errors. Identified cases underwent an adjudication process by a multidisciplinary QI team to determine if a diagnostic error occurred. Confirmed diagnostic errors were then aggregated on the DEI. The primary outcome measure was the number of monthly diagnostic errors.
    Results: From January 2017 through June 2019, 105 cases of diagnostic error were identified. Morbidity and mortality conferences, institutional root cause analyses, and an abdominal pain trigger tool were the most frequent domains for detecting diagnostic errors. Appendicitis, fractures, and nonaccidental trauma were the 3 most common diagnoses that were missed or had delayed identification.
    Conclusions: A QI initiative successfully created a pragmatic approach to identify and measure diagnostic errors by utilizing a DEI. The DEI established a framework to help guide future initiatives to reduce diagnostic errors.
