Abstract

A TEP identified 24 quality measures in pediatric EMS that emphasize foundational practice and relevance across a range of volumes and service models. Future validation of these measures with NEMSIS data are needed to establish benchmarks of care across variably resourced EMS agencies and develop effective strategies to support adherence to high-quality pediatric prehospital emergency care.
