      Ensuring pediatric readiness in emergency departments (EDs) is crucial for delivering high-quality care to children. A key component of this effort is the Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)—a dedicated champion who helps improve pediatric preparedness and response. In this curriculum, you will learn more about pediatric emergency care coordinators (PECCs)/pediatric champions in the ED and how they impact each domain of Pediatric Readiness.
