About

This article discusses how experts worked together to create a tool that helps emergency workers decide where to take sick or injured children. They used a special process called the Modified Delphi Method, which means they asked many experts for their opinions and made changes until they agreed on the best ideas. The goal was to make sure kids get sent to the right hospital quickly and safely during emergencies.
