NEW: Updated ED guidelines on Pediatric Readiness are now available! Get the rundown on what's new at a Feb. 12 webinar, just ahead of the new nationwide assessment, launching March 3.
Get help addressing gaps in your ED's Pediatric Readiness.
Intended for use in conjunction with the NPRP Assessment, the NPRP Checklist and Toolkit are free and open-access resources for all ED providers (e.g. pediatric emergency care coordinators or PECCs, nurses, physicians, advanced practice providers and other staff) to help facilitate delivery of high-quality emergency care to all children.
Both resources are based on the 2026 joint policy statement, “Pediatric Readiness in the Emergency Department”.
