The Pediatric Integrated Care Survey (PICS) in a multidisciplinary clinic for Down syndrome

© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

The Pediatric Integrated Care Survey (PICS) is validated for use to measure the caregiver reported experience of integration and efficiency of all the aspects of their child. We began using the PICS survey to track changes in the patient experience, including throughout changing models of care during the COVID-19 pandemic. From February 2019 to June 2023, 62 responses from caregivers of individuals seen in the Massachusetts General Hospital Down Syndrome Program completed the PICS. Responses were scored using the standardized PICS user manual, and descriptive statistics were completed. The raw scores and composite monthly scores of the PICs were graphed in statistical process control charts. The average PICS score was 12.0 (range 2-19) out of a maximum score of 19; no shifts or trends were seen. Items with lowest scores indicated greatest opportunities for improvement related to: advice from other care team members, impact of decisions on the whole family, things causing stress or making it hard because of child's health, and offering opportunities to connect with other families. Studying the PICS in a specialty clinic for Down syndrome for the first time has established a baseline for future quality improvement work and interventions to increase care integration.
