The AAP will be offering guidance for pediatric health care teams on how best to work together to ensure the highest quality of care for children with surgical problems. According to research, the number of pediatric hospital medicine programs involved in caring for surgical patients increased from 44% to 90% between 1997 and 2020, and about 40% of pediatric surgery and 60% of pediatric orthopedic programs use co-management for patient care.

It can be found in the document library under Regional Network > Resource Sharing > Operational Guidelines/Plans/Regions >. From the National Pediatric Disaster Coalition: FEMA National Preparedness Report 2023 Several actionable opportunities stand out from this report. #1 The need to improve personal preparedness. Only 45% of surveyed adults stated they were prepared for a disaster. Children rely on their caregivers to prepare for disaster. #2 State, Local, Tribal, and Territories (SLTT) are expected to conduct FEMA's Integrating the Needs of Children Workshops in their communities. The training program developed by FEMA in 2021, is basically a local emergency manager-led community training promoting integration of children’s needs during emergencies. Check with your local or district emergency manager to see if they are hosting a workshop and if you can participate. It may be a great opportunity to learn of community needs you are not aware of. FEMA National Preparedness Report 2023 Integrating the Needs of Children Workshop Materials Western Regional Alliance for Pediatric Emergency Management (WRAP-EM) Multi-Health Care Coalition (HCC) Chemical or Pediatric Surge Virtual Tabletop Exercise
WRAP-EM is considering conducting a series of multi-HCC chemical or pediatric surge virtual tabletop exercises to validate annexes/plans as was hosted by WRAP-EM in 2022-23. The exercises would be held in the February-April 2024 timeframe. In addition to fulfilling Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) requirements, there are potential benefits for HCCs to share and learn from each other by participating jointly in a virtual tabletop exercise.

The playbook is NOT intended for rapid pediatric surge responses such as a mass casualty incident (MCI). Take a look at the Playbook and see if there is anything to strengthen Pediatric Medical Surge Plan. Pediatric Surge Playbook Checklist of Essential Pediatric Domains for Hospitals One of the most significant gaps in hospital readiness for children is the lack of hospital policies that address children under every day and disaster conditions. Is your community hospital in that situation and needs help including children in preparedness policies? This resource will help! The Checklist of Essential Pediatric Domains and Considerations for Every Hospital’s Disaster Preparedness Policies is a tool to help hospital administrators and leadership incorporate essential pediatric considerations into existing hospital disaster policies. Click to download (PDF) and view the following video that explains the checklist from colleagues at the American Academy of Pediatrics Disaster Council. Checklist of Essential Ped Domain Video Pediatric Medical Surge Plan Posted to MIHAN Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) staff have been working diligently to get documents completed and posted to the MIHAN. Most recently, the Pediatric Medical Surge Plan was completed and posted. To find this document and many other new documents, log into MIHAN and go to: Documents – Resource Sharing – Operational Guidelines/Plans/Document.
