About

The Pediatric Surge Annex by the Northwest Healthcare Response Network helps healthcare providers plan for pediatric emergencies. It describes guidelines and resources to manage a surge in pediatric patients, especially during respiratory illnesses like RSV and flu. The annex includes strategies for hospitals to handle increased patient numbers, share information, and coordinate care across facilities. It also outlines roles of various agencies in patient tracking and movement during emergencies. Additionally, it provides templates for after-action reports to improve future responses based on lessons learned from exercises or real events.
