| Abstract
|
:
|
Children represent a special challenge for emergency care providers, because they have unique medical needs in comparison to adults. For decades, policy makers and providers have recognized the special needs of children, but the system has been slow to develop an adequate response to their needs. This is in part due to inadequacies within the broader emergency care system. Emergency Care for Children examines the challenges associated with the provision of emergency services to children and families and evaluates progress since the publication of the Institute of Medicine report Emergency Medical Services for Children (1993), the first comprehensive look at pediatric emergency care in the United States. This new book offers an analysis of: (1) The role of pediatric emergency services as an integrated component of the overall health system; (2) System-wide pediatric emergency care planning, preparedness, coordination, and funding; (3) Pediatric training in professional education; (4) Research in pediatric emergency care.
