32 The Child PIP structure Child PIP provides a structure for assessing the quality of care children receive in the SA health system by Ensuring all inpatient deaths are identified Determining the social, nutritional and HIV context of each child who dies Assigning a cause to each death Determining modifiable factors in the caring process for each child who dies Data is analysed using Child PIP software.

33 Analysis of Child PIP data provides information about 1. Mortality rates (IHMR) Child PIP: in-hospital mortality rate (IHMR) = deaths per 100 admissions 2. the health profile of children who die in hospital social, nutritional and HIV context cause of death 3. the quality of care given by those entrusted with caring for them
