Pediatric Readiness - Tackling Training, the C-suite, and Everything in Between

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Alana Arnold about our experiences with pediatric readiness projects in community and urgent care settings, both as partnering with academic pediatric centers and via private consulting. Below, in order, are the seminal paper regarding pediatric readiness in general emergency departments, its associated assessment tool, the Wall Street Journal article about pediatric readiness referenced in this episode, findings from the ImPACTS project, and contact information for Dr. Arnold.
