About

The study looks at the role of Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCs) in hospitals. It describes how PECCs help improve emergency care for children by organizing training and resources. The survey found that many hospitals have PECCs, but there are still challenges like lack of time and support. It highlights the importance of having dedicated staff to focus on children's needs during emergencies. The study suggests more training and resources could help PECCs do their jobs better, ensuring kids get the best care possible in emergency situations.
