Readiness of General Hospitals That Participate in Pediatric Quality Improvement Initiatives.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveGeneral hospitals care for more than 70% of hospitalized children nationally but face challenges in pediatric quality improvement (QI). Feasibility and organizational readiness to change assessments can help inform effective QI. Our objective was to assess readiness to implement pediatric QI interventions among a broad sample of general hospitals participating in the Simultaneously Implementing Pathways for Improving Asthma, Pneumonia, and Bronchiolitis Care for Hospitalized Children (SIP) study.
methodsWe conducted a mixed-methods study. Data were collected via electronic surveys and qualitative interviews. Participants included multidisciplinary inpatient pediatric clinicians and QI leaders. Surveys used validated tools, including the Organizational Readiness to Implement Change (ORIC) and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). Interview guides developed using an implementation framework explored feasibility of implementing evidence-based practices. We analyzed data using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.
resultsA total of 424 participants from 15 hospitals were approached, and 186 (44%) completed the survey. ORIC and FIM scores were scaled 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating agreement. Response results did not differ based on clinician type or experience. Clinicians at community hospitals with pediatric beds reported greater readiness than nested children's hospitals (median ORIC 4.4 vs 4.0, P = 0.02). Interviewees' (n = 21) anticipated feasibility challenges included aligning practices across hospital care settings and obtaining information technology support for electronic medical record changes.
conclusionsIn this mixed-methods study, we found high but variable readiness for pediatric QI and identified specific threats to feasibility. We also illustrated how such assessments can be used to support pediatric QI efforts in general hospitals.
