Objectives: Describe quality improvement process improvements in protein delivery of continuous renal replacement therapy initiation. Design: Prospective study. Setting: PICU and cardiovascular ICU within a quaternary care children’s hospital. Patients: PICU and cardiovascular ICU patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy for greater than 48 hours. Inborn errors of metabolism were excluded. Interventions: Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were initiated. Cycle 1 developed interdisciplinary quality improvement group continuously monitoring nutrition care with thrice weekly bedside safety rounds and protein prescriptions within nephrologist’s notes. Cycle 2 included education to intensivists. Cycle 3 initiated monthly quality improvement meetings reviewing nutritional care goals. Measurements and Main Results: Primary outcome was percentage of time patients met protein goals in the first 5 days of continuous renal replacement therapy. Secondary outcome was percentage of time patients met protein goals for duration of continuous renal replacement therapy. Cohort (n = 55) mean age was 8.1 years (SD ± 6.8), 62% male, and 31% malnutrition at baseline. Percent of time meeting protein goals by day 5 was 22%, 33%, and 71% and percent of time meeting protein goals throughout was 35%, 39%, and 75% of groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Significant improvement occurred after Plan-Do-Study-Act 3 (group 2 vs group 3; p
