The CHCPC serves as the approval body for the Children\u2019s Hospital policies, guidelines, and protocols for care. The committee is interdisciplinary and involves many specialties including physicians, nurses, social workers, and childpyschiatry. The CHCPC has been in existence for more than five years. Meetings are held once a month and there are 30 members currently on the committee. Last year the CHCPC approved 25 guidelines and protocols.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the process:<\/strong> Different departments or units determine the need for a guideline around patient care. Requests for approval come from more than one avenue. For example, requests may start at the bedside or the clinic exam table where clinicians determine a practice is not working or they may come from executive leadership of the Children\u2019s Hospital who may want a new practice that is evidence-based. Be Safe events (imagine a team member falling over) are another avenue where a policy, guideline or protocol may begin.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the committee vets requests and sees that they are posted in the Children\u2019s Hospital Manual on the intranet. The CHCPC of the Children\u2019s Hospital reports directly to the CSEC. CSEC or Clinical Staff Executive Committee is comprised of the senior leaders of every department and the Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The time frame for approval varies depending on the complexity of the issue. The process involves the care team making a presentation, a group discussion, edits and changes, and the final approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Co-chairs:<\/strong> Janet Allaire, MA, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Ambulatory Services for Women and Children, and Dr. Paul Matherne, MD, MBA, Professor of Pediatrics, and Associate Chief Medical Officer of the Children\u2019s Hospital, play an integral role as the co-chairs of the committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren\u2019s care is simply different. You can\u2019t just make adult policies smaller,\u201d explains Jan. She has been involved from the beginning and has been a co-chair for the last two years. \u201cThere is hard work involved in being a committee member \u2013 the work is very detail driven and there is always plenty to do,\u201d says Jan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to ensure that every child at the UVA Children\u2019s Hospital gets the same care here that they would receive at the Best Children\u2019s Hospital in the World,\u201d explains Paul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStandardizing our care will allow us to move forward. We are focusing on improving quality initiatives and measuring the outcome. If there are three different ways to do a procedure, that leads to variation, which leads to errors. If there is a standard, everyone is better prepared. That\u2019s why we are passionate about this work,\u201d says Jan. \u201cThe most rewarding part for me is seeing the team come together and come to a consensus about a care issue. The policy documentation is a byproduct; it\u2019s about the outcome. When we look at the reports and see that the numbers of infections have decreased significantly, that\u2019s what is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s answer to why serving as a co-chair is rewarding? \u201cDon\u2019t tell anyone, but this is a very easy job because Jan does all the real work, but it is very rewarding to work with the dedicated and talented team we have at the UVA Children\u2019s Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the committee: The Children\u2019s Hospital Clinical Practice Committee guides the way the Children\u2019s Hospital takes care of its patients.
