About

This journal article describes a study looking at how well general emergency departments are prepared to care for children. The researchers checked several hospitals to see if being more ready for pediatric patients helped improve the care those children received. They found that hospitals with better pediatric readiness gave safer and higher quality treatment to kids in emergencies. The study suggests that all emergency departments should work on improving their ability to treat children, which could help save lives and make sure young patients get the best possible care when they need it most.
