Key Points

This research aims to document the differences in care models and unit structures in pediatric acute care cardiology units.
Conducted a hospital survey across various centers providing acute care cardiology services.
Collected data on unit structures and care delivery models.
Identified common practices and areas of variability within those centers.
Significant variability was found in care delivery models among different centers.
The survey highlighted differences in unit structures and operational practices.
Potential best practices were suggested for improving care delivery in pediatric cardiology.

Implication

Hospital survey identifies best practices in care delivery for acute cardiology services in pediatric centers, highlighting variability.

Abstract

Significant variability exists in unit structure and care delivery models across a diverse group of centres providing acute care cardiology services. The Hospital Survey may assist in identifying best practices for similar centres across PAC³.
