| Abstrakt: | Pediatric clinic preparedness is essential to improve the care and health outcomes for children during a pandemic and to decrease the burden on hospital systems. Clinic preparedness is a process that involves a well thought out plan that includes coordination with staff, open communication between the clinic and patient families, and collaboration with community partners. Planning for disasters can decrease some of the risks for our most vulnerable patients, including children and youth with special health care needs. There are plans, coalitions, and community partners that can help clinics in their preparedness journey. Competing Interests: Disclosure S. Godfred-Cato received funding from the Pediatric Pandemic Network for research related to pediatric disaster preparedness and response. (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
