Brief description The research project aims to improve outcomes of children undergoing repair of heart birth defects. The novel study is devised to engage health care providers in the re-design of surgical interventions to improve child outcomes. The collaborative approach of engaging health care providers and carers in the design of improvement interventions can help overcome the implementation gap and ensure rapid improvement and enhanced patient safety of children undergoing heart surgery repair.
