National Pediatric Readiness Project

The National Pediatric Readiness Project is an initiative aimed at improving emergency care for children in community emergency departments across the United States. It evaluates how well these emergency departments are prepared to care for children by assessing their equipment, staff training, policies, and procedures. The goal is to ensure that children receive timely, effective, and age-appropriate care during emergencies. By identifying strengths and gaps, the project helps hospitals improve their readiness, ultimately enhancing safety and outcomes for pediatric patients in urgent situations.
