Reflecting on variations in staffing and coverage models helps to inform excellent patient care and to support child life staff. Sometimes, changing the way things have been done in the past is necessary, albeit difficult.

Using a quality improvement framework, presenters demonstrate how integrating multiple sources of evidence can improve decision-making, care delivery, and workplace culture.
