Patient safety improvement interventions in children's surgery: a systematic review.

Macdonald AL, Sevdalis N. J Pediatr Surg. 2016 Sep 24; [Epub ahead of print].

This systematic review evaluated the patient safety evidence associated with pediatric surgery. Although investigators found sound evidence to support the use of handoff tools, they suggest that further research on interventions to improve safety in pediatric surgery is needed.
