Learn about potential focus areas:
Leaders at the Child Health Policy and Advocacy Center at University Hospitals/Rainbow Babies work collaboratively with the EMSC Family Advisory Network to support community engagement, state and national initiatives, and increase awareness of pediatric emergency care needs and healthcare disparities, all the while, placing patients and families at the heart of our work.

The EIIC spearheads QI collaboratives, forums that bring together individuals from various health care departments, hospitals, or other organizations for a fixed period of time to address a specific aspect of providing care—in this case, improving emergency care for children (or improving "pediatric readiness").

Part of the Knowledge Management Domain, the communications team amplifies and disseminates the work of the EMSC Program through a variety of channels, including web content, social media, news media, email, and other publications to ensure important resources and tools reach the audiences that need them.
The EIIC Disaster Domain seeks to support EMSC grantees and stakeholders to better prepare for disasters in a way that takes the specific needs of children into consideration. We offer a variety of resources and tools to facilitate disaster preparedness activities by health care providers, public health departments, schools, and family/caregivers. For more information, click here.
Much of the hospital-based care work carried out at the EIIC is currently focused on the National Pediatric Readiness Project and other Quality Improvement Collaboratives. The National Pediatric Readiness Project is a multiphase quality improvement initiative to ensure that all U.S. emergency departments have the essential guidelines and resources in place to provide effective emergency care to children.

The Knowledge Management domain’s mission is to deliver knowledge and evidence-based science in a variety of formats (webinars, podcasts, videos, learning modules, simulation cases, infographics, etc.) and to create a dynamic and comprehensive central home for knowledge synthesis, content creation and curation, and content dissemination. The KM domain seeks to deliver the latest knowledge in diverse formats to match each EMSC target-audience’s needs: 1) scientific community (clinicians and researchers), 2) EMSC stakeholders, 3) advocates, and 4) the public.

The Prehospital Domain supports the efforts of the Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project (PPRP), the Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC) Community of Practice (CoP), and EIIC Quality Improvement Collaboratives that reach prehospital providers. Additionally, we represent the EIIC in various national projects and collaboratives that deal with prehospital issues, to include: prehospital evidence-based guidelines, injury prevention, equipment guidelines, and safe transportation of children.
