| English abstract | Objective: Describe the process of designing and implementing a comprehensive needs assessment of the critical and injured pediatric patient in a low middle income country in order to address internal country identified improvement goals. Setting: Belize’s Ministry of Health hospital healthcare system Process: Design and application of a country-wide healthcare needs assessment adapted from World Health Organization (WHO) framework on mental healthcare needs assessment and the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS). Results: A comprehensive framework for guiding collaborative work to improve neonatal and pediatric resuscitation care throughout the country of Belize. Conclusions: Using principles of population-specific needs assessment in a low-middle income country, with public health level questions and systems engineering principles, a comprehensive needs assessment tool can be established to identify specific health related improvement projects for critical and injured children throughout a healthcare system. To successfully perform this type of assessment, country wide collaboration and regional discussions are necessary |
