Subject: NPRP Pediatric Readiness Assessment Results & Next Steps

Copy:
Dear [Recipient/Team Name],

I’m writing to share the results from our recent National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) Assessment and to outline key takeaways and next steps for our department.

We recently completed the NPRP Assessment to understand how our emergency department currently performs across nationally recognized Pediatric Readiness standards. The confidential assessment evaluates ED Pediatric Readiness on a 100-point scale to help support improvements in care. Research shows scoring an 88 or above is associated with up to 76% lower mortality risk for critically ill children and 60% for critically injured children.

Assessment Highlights

  • Overall Score: [Insert overall score or rating; might want to include benchmarking info]
  • Strengths:
    • [Highlight areas where your department scored well — e.g., coordination, staff competencies, pediatric equipment availability, quality improvement practices]
  • Opportunities for Improvement:
    • [List domains with gaps — e.g., policies, training, pediatric dosing protocols, family-centered care]

Suggested Next Steps

  1. Review top gaps with leadership and quality committee.
  2. Create an improvement plan and prioritize goals (e.g., training, documentation, policy updates).
  3. Appoint a nurse and physician pediatric emergency care coordinator or PECC to help coordinate these efforts.
  4. Leverage NPRP resources — including templates and tools — to support implementation.

Let’s meet on [Proposed Date/Time] to discuss these results and finalize our Pediatric Readiness action plan.

Thank you for your commitment to optimizing care for our youngest patients.

Sincerely,
