But when disaster occurs….
This is the framework for our collaborations around disaster
preparedness

Disaster Plan Addresses Issues Specific to the Care
of Children
Need for Pediatric Considerations in Disaster
Planning

Barriers to Guidelines Implementation
Cost of personnel Cost of training Lack of trained MDs Lack of trained RNs Lack of Admin support
Lack of policies in peds emergency care Lack of peds QI plan Lack of interest in meeting guidelines Other
Lack of educational resources
Lack of disaster planning for children 54%

Benefits of Pediatric Readiness
• Globally-reduces the unevenness of pediatric emergency care by creating a foundation for all Eds
• State level: Disaster Preparedness • Improves day-to-day readiness of an ED which increases the
likelihood that it will be prepared for a disaster• Provides an opportunity for children to be better integrated into
overall state disaster plans• The assessment will ask if the facility’s disaster plan addresses
issues specific to the care of children• Online toolkit will have example ED disaster preparedness policies
that incorporate the needs of children http://www.pediatricreadiness.org/

Collaboration
• Enhances Planning
• Increases Integration
• Improves Infrastructure
Rely on each other’s expertise

Program Planning and Evaluation
• Consider both HPP and EMSC performance measures as well as results from the National Pediatric Readiness Assessment when developing local disaster preparedness and evaluation plans
EMSC Intersections at the State and Local Level
![Page 12: The Emergency Medical Services for Children collaborations for Pediatric Disaster Preparedness](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56813e57550346895da84947/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EMSC Intersections at the State and Local Level
Establishing Collaborative Partnerships• Expand local partnerships to include:
• stakeholders key to both local healthcare coalitions and EMSC programs,
• specifically points of contact within State Health Departments and Schools of Medicine,
• to jointly develop and evaluate pediatric disaster plans as well as support each others’ programs

Next steps
• Access resources• National Library of Medicine
• Research best practice case studies to improve coordination and delivery
• Let us know how we can improve• Sharing lessons learned at all levels
