Ohio has reached a significant milestone in the 2026 National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) assessment period with 52.7% of EDs completed, well ahead of the national average of 40.1%. For comparison, during the 2021 national assessment Ohio recorded 113 total responses over the full 90‑day period—this year, Ohio reached 117 completed assessments by the exact midpoint (April 17). Ohio is among the highest‑performing states nationally in response volume for 2026.
With 105 EDs remaining and 41 days until the May 31 deadline, Ohio needs 18 EDs per week (2.56 per day) to reach 100% participation—an achievable target based on current performance.

The Federal EMSC Data Center has begun national phone outreach to remaining, select non‑respondent facilities and will continue until an 80% state response rate is achieved, after which remaining outreach transitions to the states. In parallel, as we enter the second half of the assessment period:
We are truly almost at the finish line. Ohio EMSC and federal EMSC are excited to share post‑assessment resources and targeted improvement tools to help EDs strengthen pediatric readiness based directly on their NPRP results. For assistance or questions with completing the NPRP assessment, the Ohio EMSC team is available to connect with individual facilities or systems via phone, Microsoft Teams, or email for immediate, personalized support, or find our March 4 Webinar Recording on the NPRP Assessment Here.
Thank you for your leadership and dedication, and for helping maintain this extraordinary momentum statewide.
