Pediatric emergency medicine--current standards of care: results of a national survey. 1990

D J Isaacman
Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania.

To assess current standards of care in pediatric emergency medicine, a questionnaire was mailed in May 1988 to the medical directors of all existing pediatric emergency medicine fellowship programs. Twenty-three programs (96%) completed this survey, which consisted of questions regarding census, staffing patterns, ancillary services, patient follow-up, and various clinical issues. The major deficiencies in pediatric emergency care identified by this survey concerned patient waiting time, weekend radiology coverage, patient follow-up, feedback to referring physicians, and feedback to emergency department housestaff on hospitalized patients. The data suggest that pediatric EDs associated with fellowship training programs are improving their quality of care, yet room for advancement in many categories remains.
