In collaboration with the Federal EMSC Program, experts from the leading organizations involved in emergency care for children released an updated 2026 joint policy statement, "Pediatric Readiness in the Emergency Department." These guidelines are the basis for the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) Nationwide Assessment for emergency departments (EDs), launching in March 2026. NPRP Co-leads, Dr. Marianne Gausche-Hill, Dr. Kate Remick, and Dr. Hilary Hewes provide information about the life-saving potential and low cost of Pediatric Readiness, what’s new in the guidelines, and provide insights to help you with the 2026 NPRP Assessment.
