Abstract

Many hospitals and emergency departments lack resources to optimally care for ill and injured children, perpetuating risks of receiving fragmented and “uneven” care. In this article, we describe the present state of our pediatric emergency medicine workforce as well as the impact that different innovations could have on the future of pediatric emergency care. Many innovative initiatives, including physician and advanced practice provider education and training, pediatric readiness recognition programs, telemedicine and in-situ simulation outreach, and community paramedicine are being utilized to help bridge access gaps and augment the reach of the pediatric emergency medicine workforce. Advocacy for reimbursement for novel care delivery models, such as community paramedicine and telemedicine, and funding for outreach education is essential. Also, better understanding of our current training models for and utilization of advanced practice practitioners in pediatric emergency medicine is crucial to understanding the diversity of workforce growth and opportunity.

儿科急诊医疗人员的现状和改进儿科护理的创新

许多医院和急诊科缺乏资源，无法对生病和受伤的儿童提供最佳护理，因此长期存在接受零散和“不均衡”护理的风险。在这篇文章中，我们描述了我们的儿科急诊医学劳动力的现状以及不同的创新可能对儿科急诊护理的未来产生的影响。许多创新举措，包括医生和高级实践提供者教育和培训，儿科准备认可计划，远程医疗和现场模拟推广，以及社区辅助医疗正在被用来帮助弥合准入差距，扩大儿科急诊医学劳动力的覆盖范围。倡导对社区辅助医疗和远程医疗等新型医疗服务模式的报销以及为外展教育提供资金至关重要。此外，更好地了解我们目前对儿科急诊医学高级执业医师的培训模式和利用，对于理解劳动力增长和机会的多样性至关重要。
