About

The article describes how experts created a way to measure how ready emergency medical services are to care for children before they reach the hospital. The project involved gathering ideas from many people, reviewing research, and testing questions to make sure they were clear and useful. The goal is to help emergency teams know what they need so that kids get better care in emergencies.
