ABSTRACT
Most infants and children who are ill and injured are cared for in community-based settings across the emergency continuum. These settings are often less prepared for pediatric patients than dedicated pediatric settings such as academic medical centers. Disparities in health outcomes exist and are associated with gaps in community emergency preparedness. Simulation is an effective technique to enhance emergency preparedness to ensure the highest quality of care is provided to all pediatric patients. In this article, we summarize the pediatric emergency care provided across the emergency continuum and outline the key features of simulation used to measure and improve pediatric preparedness in community settings. First, we discuss the use of simulation as a training tool and as an investigative methodology to enhance emergency preparedness across the continuum. Next, we present two examples of successful simulation-based programs that have led to improved emergency preparedness. [Pediatr Ann. 2021;50(1)e19-e24.].
