March 1, 2004 - Feb. 28, 2007

Grant Number
H34MC02545
Project Overview
EMSC grantees have developed a number of initiatives addressing emergency care and childhood injury prevention. However, quality improvement and benchmarking models have not been widely applied in EMSC. The goal of this project is to develop a web-based quality improvement and self-study educational program targeted to pediatric emergency care providers. This will be accomplished by (1) defining the data elements, chart review process, and educational components necessary to support four quality improvement and educational modules as defined by the project committee; (2) creating and implementing four web-based quality improvement and educational modules; and (3) assessing the data submitted for each targeted module, and evaluate changes in practice among providers after participation in the web-based quality improvement program.
