Inter-facility transfer of pediatric burn patients from U.S. Emergency Departments.
This study described the epidemiology of pediatric burn patients seen in U.S. emergency departments (EDs) in order to determine factors associated with inter-facility transfer. It concluded that over 90 percent of pediatric burn ED patients meet ABA burn referral criteria but are not transferred from low volume hospitals.

Rapid response systems 20 years later: new approaches, old challenges.
In this article, the authors propose a set of recommendations for a research agenda aimed at pursuing the work of optimizing the identification of deteriorating children. They recommend that the second generation of pediatric rapid response systems continue to build on past achievements while further optimizing use of the data, tools, and people available at the bedside to take the next leap forward.

Decline in emergency department visits for acute gastroenteritis among children in 10 US states after implementation of rotavirus vaccination, 2003-2013.
The researchers compared the rates of gastroenteritis- and rotavirus-coded ED visits among children <5 years of age in pre-rotavirus vaccine (2003 to 2006) with those in postvaccine (2008-2013) years; 2007 was excluded as a transition year They concluded that. ED visits for gastroenteritis in US children have declined since the introduction of rotavirus vaccine.

Family-centered pediatric emergency care: a framework for measuring what parents want and value.
The objective of this study was to identify dimensions of family-centered care important to parents in pediatric emergency care and compare them to those currently defined. The authors concluded that the resulting dimensions provide a framework for measuring and improving the delivery of family-centered pediatric emergency care.
