Safer Care for Children in Hospital Research Program The Safer Care for Children in Hospital Research Program commenced in 2019 as the ESCALATION research project that involved development of an evidence-based early warning system for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration in WA paediatric healthcare settings. Perth Children’s Hospital, all other WA health facilities, private hospitals, St John Ambulance WA, Royal Flying Doctor Service WA, and St John WA Urgent Care Clinics caring for sick children now use the early warning system, known as the ESCALATION system.

Program focus
Projects under the Safer Care for Children program seek to strengthen and refine the ESCALATION system. They include studies to optimise family involvement in reporting patient deterioration, particularly Aboriginal families, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
