In Aim 2, we will conduct semi-structured interviews with physicians and nurses who provide care to bronchiolitis patients in participating units at the 5 hospitals with the highest and 3 hospitals with the lowest sustainability (8 hospitals total; up to maximum of 8 interviews/hospital). Maximum anticipated enrollment 64.

  • Primary diagnosis of bronchiolitis in most recent physician progress note
  • Not actively receiving supplemental oxygen ("in room air")
  • Last documented receipt of supplemental oxygen >1 hour prior to direct observational data collection

Exclusion Criteria:
