Abstract:
The disclosure of medical errors in pediatrics is a complex enterprise with limited practice guidelines. We present key findings from three studies within a program of research on pediatric disclosure of medical errors. First, we extract key themes from a systematic review of the literature where no research was found on how children perceive medical errors and disclosure processes. Subsequent to this review, we conducted a series of focus groups with key stakeholders that included health care providers (CAPHC members), parents and children. This study informed the third phase of this cumulative research where we individually interviewed twenty hospitalized children and adolescents to further examine their perspectives on medical errors and preferences for disclosure. Given the prevalence of adverse events in pediatric hospitals, we invite attendees to consider the nuances and challenges associated with disclosure in pediatrics and how these insights can inform future practice.
