Pediatric Dashboards

These dashboards provide access to national aggregate data that support pediatric readiness, emergency care planning, quality improvement, benchmarking, and data-informed decision-making. To protect confidentiality and data privacy, publicly available dashboards contain aggregated information while state-specific reporting remains available only to authorized EMSC Program Managers and Project Directors.

Dashboard resources continue to evolve as new data become available and additional data visualization tools are developed to support pediatric readiness initiatives and emergency care improvement efforts.

The EDC collaborates with the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to support pediatric-focused analyses of national EMS data. These dashboards help users explore trends, patient populations, system characteristics, and other factors related to pediatric emergency care. 

NEMSIS pediatric dashboards provide a visual and interactive way to explore national EMS data and better understand pediatric emergency care across the United States.

Additional information about NEMSIS, national EMS data standards, and related resources is available through the NEMSIS Technical Assistance Center.

Understanding the size and distribution of the pediatric population is an important part of pediatric readiness planning. Population data can help EMSC programs identify areas of need, support resource allocation, inform readiness initiatives, and provide context for assessment findings and quality improvement activities.

This dashboard will use U.S. Census data to help users visualize pediatric population estimates at the county level. Users can explore where children live, compare counties within a state or territory, and better understand the populations served by EMS agencies, hospital emergency departments, and pediatric readiness initiatives.

Pediatric population data can be useful for strategic planning, grant applications, needs assessments, emergency preparedness activities, outreach efforts, and understanding how pediatric readiness resources align with the communities being served.

The PPRP assessment launched its first data collection in 2024. Similar to the NPRP, we plan to create a public dashboard of the national results.
