About

This journal article describes how working together with families can help make emergency medical services better for children. Families know their children best and can share important information with doctors and paramedics during emergencies. By listening to families and including them in planning, emergency teams can give safer, faster, and more effective care to kids. The article suggests ways for hospitals and EMS teams to build strong partnerships with families so that everyone works together when a child needs urgent help.
