Child Health Clinical Outcome Review Programme

Programme overview

The Child Health Clinical Outcome Review Programme was first commissioned by HQIP in 2015 and has been delivered to date by The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) team. The Child Health Clinical Outcome Review Programme is one of four Clinical Outcome Review Programmes (previously known as confidential enquiries) which are designed to help assess the quality of healthcare, and stimulate improvement in safety and effectiveness by systematically enabling clinicians, managers and policy makers to learn from adverse events and other relevant data.

The aim of the programme is to understand the way care is delivered against a range of topics important to the care of children and young people, and stimulate improvements in the quality, experience, and outcomes of care in connection to those topics.

Study topics are selected through an open submission process and anyone is invited to submit proposals for consideration as possible forthcoming studies. The areas currently being studied are:

• Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
• Emergency Paediatric Surgery

Additional information on all HQIP-commissioned projects is available on the NHS Trusts page, which includes the recommendations repository, infographics compendium, 9-month publication schedule, impact report, and National Clinical Audit and Enquiries Directory.
