Frontline Pediatric Readiness Tools
Putting Pediatric Readiness into Practice

These simulation-based exercises are:
-
FREE
-
Brief (< 10 minute)
-
Require limited equipment and preparation.
Who
These tools are designed to be used with an interprofessional team, to work together to improve familiarity with pediatric specific equipment, medications, and procedures. ​
​
Pediatric Education Care Coordinators (PECCs) can lead their teams through these simulation-based exercises in the Emergency Department, BUT any team member who is a champion for improving pediatric care can use these tools.

Whether your emergency department is in a rural or urban area with a high or low volume of pediatric patients, improving pediatric readiness decreases mortality and improves outcomes for kids in your community.
