Challenges of Paediatric HDU Documentation
01
The HDU visibility gap
Between ward and ICU, paediatric HDU patients need structure. Paper, verbal handover and patchy EMR leave gaps and risk at handover.
02
Missed deterioration
Transitions are the danger point: manual charts and missed triggers waste time step‑down teams don’t have.
03
Compliance pressure
PICANet submissions, CQC checks and Martha’s Rule need evidence which most HDUs can't deliver and audit trails are retrospective or missing.

Quality improvement
