Summary

This study tests a new way for families of hospitalized children to report safety concerns using a mobile tool (email, text, or QR code). The goal is to catch medical errors that hospital staff often miss, especially for families who speak languages other than English. About 656 participants will take part across several hospitals to see if this approach improves safety reporting and hospital experience.
