Purpose: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Pediatric Acute & Critical Care (PACC) Quality Network, an established hospital focused pediatric quality improvement (QI) network, seeks to implement interventions to improve the care of patients presenting to the hospital with croup. The QI effort will provide physicians with education about evidence-based best practice, strategies for implementation, and tools to bring about sustainable change, while also assessing the implementation strategies associated with the greatest success. Providing multi-disciplinary teams with quality improvement education and tools specific to management of patients with croup will increase compliance with the evidence-based research and thereby decrease overuse of non-evidence-based therapies and tests Project Aims: 1. To reduce preventable hospitalizations by 20% from baseline by July 2025 2. To reduce not routinely recommended testing by 20% from baseline for neck radiographs, chest radiographs, viral testing, and laboratory studies by July 2025. 3. To increase administration of oral dexamethasone to at least 95%
