About the National Pediatric Readiness Project Assessment

Nurse taking assessment

The National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) Assessment, available at PedsReady.org, offers EDs the opportunity to:

  • Benchmark against updated national standards
  • Identify new gaps and opportunities for improvement
  • Track progress over time

The updated assessment is based on recently revised joint standards.

Why Does Participation Matter?

Pediatric Readiness saves lives! Research shows that high Pediatric Readiness is linked to better outcomes for children in emergencies. By participating, EDs not only strengthen their own readiness but also help contribute to progress in pediatric emergency care nationwide.
