About the content
Ensuring pediatric readiness in emergency departments (EDs) is essential for delivering high-quality care to children. The National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) empowers ED clinicians with the knowledge, policies, and resources necessary to enhance pediatric emergency care. A key component of this effort is the Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)—a dedicated champion who helps improve pediatric preparedness and response. Take this 14-minute module to strengthen your knowledge of pediatric emergency preparedness, the role of PECCs, and how to improve readiness within your ED to provide the best possible care for pediatric patients.
What You Will Learn
- Identify best practices for improving pediatric readiness in emergency departments
- Understand the role and responsibilities of a Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)
- Explore the Seven Domains of Pediatric Readiness, a structured framework for evaluating and enhancing pediatric care capabilities in the ED
