Global core indicators for measuring WHO’s paediatric quality‑of‑care standards in health facilities: Development and expert consensus. BMC Health Services Research, 22(1), 887. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-022-08234-51472-6963https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-022-08234-5http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7992There are currently no global recommendations on a parsimonious and robust set of indicators that can be measured routinely or periodically to monitor quality of hospital care for children and young adolescents. We describe a systematic methodology used to prioritize and define a core set of such indicators and their metadata for progress tracking, accountability, learning and improvement, at facility, (sub) national, national, and global levels. We used a deductive methodology which involved the use of the World Health Organization Standards for improving the quality-of-care for children and young adolescents in health facilities as the organizing framework for indicator development. The entire process involved 9 complementary steps which included: a rapid literature review of available evidence, the application of a peer-reviewed systematic algorithm for indicator systematization and prioritization, and multiple iterative expert consultations to establish consensus on the proposed indicators and their metadata.enChild healthYoung adolescentWorld Health Organization (WHO)Public healthMaternal healthBook
