Improving pediatric care
ImPACTS (Improving Pediatric Acute Care Through Simulation) was created to ensure that ill and injured children receive the highest quality of emergency care whenever and wherever it is needed.

We are a collaborative of passionate pediatric clinicians that support each other through:
-
Community of Practice: mentorship, coaching, collaboration, mutual support
-
Creating and sharing free resources for interdisciplinary teams, individual providers and pediatric champions
The ImPACTS model involves Pediatric Readiness Improvement & Simulation Mentors (PRISM) supporting pediatric champions through training and resources for in situ simulation via SimBox. After the simulation the pediatric champion and PRISM will work together to address any gaps identified in the simulation. The PRISMs will provide the champions with additional education, resources, milestones and guidance in improving pediatric care in their setting.
Over time, we aim for champions to facilitate their own pediatric simulations and improvement efforts with minimal support from their PRISM. These champions interact regularly as a part of our community to support each other in their shared goal to improve pediatric care.
Many of our champions will “pay it forward” and become mentors within the program.
