PIVOTing from Hospital to Home: The Innovative Solution to Pediatric IV Antibiotic Care

Join us for an insightful session tailored towards pediatric healthcare leaders eager to develop innovative care delivery models and overcome bottlenecks within the healthcare system, particularly limited inpatient bed resources. Discover actionable strategies for gathering impactful data and patient stories, engaging with change makers and funding sources, and implementing effective performance measurement.

We’ll showcase the Pediatric IV Outpatient Therapy (PIVOT) program's success across BC and the Yukon, highlighting how it has improved patient and family experiences, reduced unnecessary inpatient care, saved significant healthcare resources, and ensured equitable access to care for all patients, regardless of geographic barriers. PIVOT is an innovative care model that teaches caregivers throughout BC and Yukon to administer IV antibiotics at home, eliminating the need for hospitalization.

Learn how these principles can transform your own programs and contribute to a high-performing health system.

At the end of the session, participants will leave with:

1. An awareness of the steps involved in launching a pilot program, including gathering data and funding support
2. Knowledge of the process for implementation of a provincial pediatric home IV service
3. Actionable strategies for promoting change in care delivery, including education, policy development, and community partnerships.
