About

This journal article describes how different states in the U.S. have their own programs to recognize hospitals that are ready to care for children in emergencies. The study compares these state programs, looking at things like rules, requirements, and how they check if hospitals meet standards. It shows that there are big differences between states in how they make sure emergency rooms can help kids safely and quickly. The goal is to help improve care for children who need emergency medical attention by learning from what each state does best.
