Reference Manual

This reference manual accompanies the PEDS chart review tool, which is designed to capture adverse safety events in the prehospital care of children. The act of responding to a call and providing care may have resulted in a safety event. Professionals talk about these events in different ways and use different terms to describe them, and this reference manual provides guidance to reviewers.

The manual provides question-by-question guidance for reviewers, as well as clinical guidance to help reviewers decide what constitutes a safety event.
