Overview

The Pathways4Kids Pediatric Clinical Pathways Conference brings together children’s hospitals from across the country to share innovations, challenges, and lessons learned in pediatric clinical pathway development.

This inaugural event is designed to foster collaboration, highlight practical tools and strategies, and inspire action to improve care delivery and outcomes for kids. Join us as we learn from one another and chart the future of pathways together.

Target Audience

This event is for pediatric clinical pathways teams who develop, approve, implement and review pathways.

Tracks include: Metrics, Technology Integration, Implementation/Change Behavior, Prioritization Strategies, Research & Publications, Future of Clinical Pathways

Learning Opportunities:

• Identify effective strategies to measure, visualize, and use data to support pathway implementation and improvement.
• Compare approaches to technology integration (EHR platforms, decision support tools, and dashboards) and apply lessons learned from peer institutions.
• Describe implementation techniques that drive behavior change, improve care delivery, and engage frontline teams.
• Apply prioritization methods for pathway development, balancing innovation with the revision and retirement of existing pathways.
• Evaluate emerging practices and future trends in pediatric pathway design, including AI, algorithm development, and collaborative research.
• Network and collaborate with peers across children’s hospitals to share experiences, challenges, and solutions that can be adapted locally.
