Virginia State Council

Good Morning All,

    I am getting ready to complete our pediatric readiness survey with our ER medical and nursing director. The one last piece I am missing is the disaster preparedness pieces to add to our EOP. I spoke with my director and we have agreed on adding an annex document to our EOP rather that putting the pediatric specific elements in the EOP. Does any one have a similar annex document rather than me going and reinventing the wheel. As previously stated we are the ONLY rural/community based hospital within our market so none of my sister facilities would have a similar document. Thanks for reading and helping.

Hi Heidi,

I do not have anything like that. You can reach out to our EMS-C rep Sheena Brannum. She maybe able to connect you with someone.

Hi Heidi,

Here are some resources that may help with building a pediatric annex for your EOP instead of starting from scratch.

This Oregon Pediatric Annex is a great example of what a completed hospital pediatric annex can look like and may be easy to adapt for a rural/community ED:

EMSC has many resources available for pediatric disaster planning, including disaster checklists and tools to help hospitals incorporate pediatric considerations into existing emergency operations plans:

I thought both were practical and could save some time while working through the readiness survey.

Hope this helps!
