We share our outcomes with you
Choosing where to bring your child for care is a major decision. We understand you want all the information you can get. And you want it in a clear, straightforward form that helps you make the right choice for your family.
That’s why we share our outcomes with you. In medicine, “outcomes” measure the end results of a treatment. By comparing our outcomes with those of other hospitals, locally and nationally, you can see how we rank in terms of keeping patients safe and healthy.

Finding new ways to improve comfort and care
The pediatric concussion program is committed to improving our understanding, treatment, and outcomes of children who sustain concussion. To that end, members of our team are engaged in a variety of research projects focused on understanding mild traumatic brain injury and how best to help children and teens recover.
At Children’s, we focus on research and innovations that make a difference at the bedside. From improving day-to-day quality of life for children and teens, to developing new pain management approaches and adopting cutting-edge technologies, our research is completely kid- and family-focused.
Children’s is engaged in many types of research, including investigator-initiated studies (led by a Children’s clinician), as well as externally sponsored multicenter trials, observational studies and registries.
Research studies are ongoing in all areas of the hospital and clinics, but read more about concussion research below.
