ED Perspective
Emergency care providers want to ensure high quality care that includes children. The National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) provides the foundation to support quality care. NPRQI provides the platform and metrics to become peds ready.
Community Perspective
Communities and families depend on and trust their local emergency departments to provide high quality care. Families and children are your advocates for optimal emergency care in your community.
Hospital Administration Perspective
Pediatric patients have unique characteristics that place them at high risk for adverse events. Together with family advisory networks and hospital associations, NPRQI provides tools to monitor the processes that can lead to adverse events. NPRQI is one step to becoming a Pediatric Recognized Facility by your state, which lets the community know of your organization meeting pediatric quality standards.
