About

This 5-minute video interviews Dr. Nichole Davis. It is about pediatric triage and tagging, which are important in emergencies to help children quickly. It describes how medical teams decide who needs urgent care first by using a system of tags. These tags help identify the severity of each child's condition, ensuring that those who need immediate attention get it right away. By understanding pediatric triage and tagging, healthcare workers can better manage situations where many children need help at once.
