Template 1: Expressing Interest and Exploring PECC Roles

Subject: Advancing Pediatric Readiness in Our ED

Copy:
Dear [ED Leadership Name],

I am reaching out to express my interest in helping strengthen pediatric emergency care within our department. The National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP), the largest national initiative to helpEDs ensure they are prepared for children, has demonstrated that high Pediatric Readiness is associated with up to 76% lower mortality for critically ill children and 60% lower mortality for injured children.

I would like to explore opportunities to advance our department’s Pediatric Readiness efforts, including the potential to serve as or support a Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC) role. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss how we can align with NPRP recommendations and identify practical next steps.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the chance to connect.

Best regards,
