Prehospital Readiness
Prehospital Readiness
Though pediatric ambulance runs are infrequent for most Wisconsin EMS agencies, they often are very critical situations. Children are not tiny adults. That is why it is important for your EMS agency to be pediatric ready.
Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project (PPRP) Assessment
The Prehospital Pediatric Readiness Project (PPRP) assessment is a tool your agency can use to measure your level of pediatric readiness and to aid in identifying gaps that may exist in your preparation to provide pediatric emergency care. The assessment addresses essential domains of preparedness identified by the 2020 Policy Statement and Technical Report on Pediatric Readiness in Emergency Medical Services Systems.
