#GMVEMSC: PECC Workforce Development Collaborative

 

 

OHIO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Robert L. Wagoner, Executive Director www.ems.ohio.gov   PECC Workforce Development Collaborative September 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 What is a PECC? A Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC)--sometimes referred to as a pediatric champion or pediatric liaison--is a term that the EMSC program uses to refer to any individual who has a particular interest in or responsibilities related to pediatric emergency care. Sometimes this individual is dedicated solely to this role. However, depending on the pediatric volume of the EMS agency or hospital, this person may take on the PECC duties in addition to other responsibilities (e.g., educator, trauma coordinator, etc.). Various roles and responsibilities are often given to a PECC but common responsibilities include ensuring the availability of pediatric equipment, supplies and medications, pediatric education/training, and advocating for pediatric considerations to be included in protocol/policy development. Who should participate? Anyone that is interested in improving pediatric readiness within your EMS agency, ED/hospital, or within your region, to include EMSC State Partnership Programs. You do NOT need to have any formal pediatric training, or a title related to pediatric care. You already have everything you need to participate…an interest in pediatric emergency care. Why participate in the PECC Workforce Development Collaborative? This collaborative will develop individuals who are interested in improving the quality of pediatric care at your EMS agency, ED/hospital, or within your region. We will provide resources, example practices, and networking opportunities at no cost to help push forward any effort for pediatric improvement. We know that the presence of an individual with an interest in pediatric emergency care is strongly correlated with improved outcomes for children. No effort to improve pediatric emergency care is too small to make an impact. This collaborative will have a broad scope. No matter where your starting point is, we will provide you with tools to improve. There is no cost to participate, and you will have the opportunity to earn continuing education or Maintenance of Certification Part 4 credit. How it works The collaborative will occur in two parts. During the first half, we will explore seven pediatric readiness areas of focus, evaluate your agency or ED/hospital level of pediatric readiness, and identify areas for improvement. In the second half, we provide coaching and tools to help you develop an improvement project. All collaborative activates will be conducted online and through virtual meetings. Questions?  Meredith Rodriguez, PhD, CCRC collaboratives@emscimprovement.center Ohio Department of Public Safety www.publicsafety.ohio.gov Mike DeWine, Governor Thomas J. Stickrath, Director
