Committee asks members to recruit hospitals for national pediatric readiness survey
Summary
State pediatric emergency care committee members were asked to help recruit hospitals to complete the Pediatric Readiness assessment at pedsready.org; the committee said it needs 27 respondents in 25 days and can provide non-responder lists to volunteers.
Michael Bolo, speaking for the committee, urged members to help hospital partners complete the national Pediatric Readiness assessment and offered to distribute a list of non-responding facilities. "We got 25 days to get 27 respondents," he said.
Bolo said committee staff have posted the assessment at pedsready.org and showed how to filter by state and county to track which hospitals have completed the survey. He encouraged members who cannot reach him directly to use the website to identify and follow up with non-respondents.
Committee members flagged a technical risk: clicking certain blue links can inadvertently modify survey responses. Irene (S2) cautioned participants not to click the link unless they were actually filling out the survey. Bolo acknowledged similar errors in other states and advised repeating the assessment when mistakes occur.
The committee did not take formal action on the outreach plan; members agreed to continue targeted follow-up and to request an updated non-responder list from staff.
