Dear [Insert Name],
I am reaching out to share the results of our 2026 National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) Assessment and what they mean for our emergency department (ED).
The NPRP Assessment is designed not to judge us, but to help us understand where we are in our Pediatric Readiness journey, a national initiative that supports EDs in ensuring they have the resources, competencies, and systems needed to deliver high-quality emergency care for children. Pediatric Readiness continues to evolve as research and practice expand; every step toward improvement is meaningful and valuable.
Our results provide a snapshot of strengths and opportunities relative to the latest national guidelines and help highlight areas where we already excel, as well as areas where we can continue to grow. Research shows that departments with higher Pediatric Readiness scores have better outcomes for children, and improving readiness benefits our patients, our team, and our community.
Importantly, no ED is expected to be perfect. This assessment is one tool among many to guide quality improvement, and there are a variety of tools, resources, and strategies available to support ongoing progress. These include clinical checklists, toolkits, education modules, quality improvement frameworks, and collaborative learning opportunities designed to help EDs improve performance over time.
We will be using these results to:
- Support planning and prioritization discussions.
- Guide internal conversations with leadership and staff.
- Identify practical next steps for improvement.
- Track progress over time.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to pediatric emergency care. I welcome the opportunity to discuss these results with you and explore how we can continue strengthening Pediatric Readiness together.
Sincerely,
