If you are looking for pediatric readiness resources, please visit pediatricreadiness.org. We value progress toward improvement made on behalf of pediatric readiness in the Emergency Department (ED). If you would like to take the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) assessment for your own records and purposes to address gaps, click on the “Let’s Get Started” button on the right-hand side of this page.
After submitting the assessment, your ED gap report summary will appear in a new window where you can save or print your report. The gap report contains your overall pediatric readiness score and your answers to scored questions. You may return to the site and repeat this process as often as you wish to evaluate your pediatric readiness and receive an updated score.
