Abstract

Pediatric emergency medicine quality work continues to focus on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's 6 domains of quality, with a need for specific emphasis on equity and patient centeredness. Adopting the principles of high-reliability organizations, pediatric emergency departments should become increasing transparent with benchmarking and collaboration across institutions in order to develop an infrastructure for quality and safety to improve the care of pediatric patients in the emergency department.
