Children's Cardiology Up-to-Date Online Resources for Education (CUORE) project: remote education for training in pediatric critical care medicine.

To the Editor—The Children's Cardiology Up-to-Date Online Resources for Education (CUORE) project was a pilot collaborative initiative between clinicians in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) at Children's Hospital Boston and the pediatric ICU of the Catholic University Hospital in Santiago, Chile. The primary aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of a remote education program to share information between Children's Hospital Boston and Catholic University Hospital in Santiago as an opportunity to improve standards of care in a pediatric ICU with more limited resources. We chose the prevention of healthcare-acquired infection in the pediatric critical care setting as our initial program to enhance quality outcomes, with the primary hypothesis that the application of a multifaceted educational intervention aimed at increasing provider awareness of evidence-based infection control practices would lower the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in the "remote" pediatric ICU in Chile.
