The management of fever in infants has been a topic of much ambiguity for decades. Project REVISE – Reducing Excessive Variability in the Infant Sepsis Evaluation – was developed by an expert group comprised of emergency and inpatient physicians with expertise and interest in febrile infant management. The AAP Value in Inpatient Pediatrics (VIP) Network – an established inpatient pediatric quality improvement (QI) network – has built a 133-team international QI collaborative designed to improve and standardize care for febrile infants between the ages of 7 to 60 days. Russell McCulloh, MD is here to explain that this QI effort will provide inpatient and emergency room physicians with education about evidence-based best practice, strategies for implementation, and tools to bring about sustainable change. Project REVISE also has implications for follow-up care by primary care providers.
