New Mexico State Partnership Regionalization of Care recently presented a poster, Child Ready-A Model of Regionalizing Pediatric Emergency Care Through Community Engagement at the 2015 Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP) Annual Conference. The Child Ready project aims to develop a model of regionalized pediatric emergency care suitable to rural populations, and ultimately 1) to prepare communities to care for ill and injured children and to conduct injury prevention activities; 2) to prepare health care facilities and systems to care for the ill or injured child; and 3) to create a multi-disciplinary workforce of health care providers who are Child Ready and support them with online continuing education products and clinical, bedside telehealth consultation.
