About

This Pediatric Pandemic Network (PPN) webinar discusses the importance of planning for healthcare crises for pediatric populations and including children in crisis standards of care. Legal and ethical considerations, avoiding discrimination, and ensuring equitable access to care are highlighted. Planning for extraordinary events when healthcare infrastructure is overwhelmed and prioritizing constant reassessment and flexibility in crisis management is crucial. It emphasizes the importance of including children in crisis standards of care and the "duty to plan" in healthcare emergency management.
