Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators
The EMS for Children (EMSC) Program and Southern Tier Health Care System are pushing EMS agencies to appoint pediatric emergency care coordinators. Currently, 12 percent of agencies have a PECC; the goal is 90 percent by 2026. The PECC role is to serve as a resource for peds medications, equipment, and supplies; bring pedi CE into the agency; develop pediatric simulation programs; and guide development of pediatric clinical practice guidelines. The PECC does not have to be an expert, but rather, a facilitator of change. More info is available here.
