    Abstract

    Introduction:

    Paging is a vital part of patient care that allows quick contact between physicians and other hospital personnel.

    There was no structured way to send a page to physicians at our institution. We hypothesized that by standardizing paging format, scheduling laboratory draw times, and using order clean-up sheets, through a bundle of interventions called Better Etiquette for Effective Paging, we would decrease the number of pages received on the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) resident pager by 15%.

    Methods:

    • Baseline data collection was performed in December 2015, categorized by time of day received and type of page. Interventions were paging standards to include relevant information, scheduling laboratory draw times, and order clean-up sheets.

    We collected postintervention data over 3 years to monitor for sustained change.

    Results:

    The average number of pages decreased from a baseline of 4.71 pages/patient/d in 2015 to 3.70 in 2016 (
