Are You Pediatric Ready? Pediatric Assessment for EMS and Fire-Rescue Agencies Now Open
Being trained, equipped, and prepared for children in accordance with national recommendations can help reduce anxiety and increase confidence with pediatric calls. Research suggests becoming “pediatric ready” may also improve outcomes. EMS and fire-rescue agencies nationwide are encouraged to participate in the Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project Assessment to help them understand their pediatric capabilities and gaps. The online assessment is open through July 31 for EMS and fire rescue agencies responding to public 911 calls. It takes an average of 30 minutes to complete. Participating agencies will receive benchmarking information to help them compare their results with other similar agencies and a gap report to help guide improvements. Learn more about or complete the assessment at https://emspedsready.org/.
