Adverse Safety Encounters in Pediatric Patients

Most of our pediatric patients cared for and transported by EMS have low acuity and result in very favorable outcomes. Despite this, there are still adverse safety encounters experienced by EMS providers while caring for pediatric patients.

Join this month’s PCRF Journal Club as we review a study that evaluated the frequency, type, and potential harm from these adverse safety encounters across 15 EMS Agencies in 3 states. Register now!
