Governance Group

PaediCRID is the West Midlands regional reporting system for reporting incidence and excellence, where one or more West Midlands Hospital is involved in the care of a patient.  

The PaediCRID system was developed in 2017. Since its launch, PaediCRID has led to the identification of incidents and opportunities for education, safety and quality improvement.  

In 2019 the option of submitting examples of excellent practice was added to the system, this enables teams to share good practice and identify where excellent practice in one site may be replicated in other sites to improve patient care and staff experience.   

Whilst each network may have an individual governance process, there is value in developing an overarching multi-network West Midlands overview, as many specialties have interdependencies that will cross more than one individual network. 

The use of the PaediCRID system differs from submitting internal DATIX/reporting systems in that it allows a process for formalising anecdotal discussions and evidence and developing the provision of data. It gives space for concerns to be raised that may not be appropriate through an internal reporting system.
