With the changing climate of health care in the U.S., advanced practice providers are assuming more responsibility for the direct care and clinical management of acutely ill or injured infants, children, teens and young adults in the emergency setting than ever before. These providers are experienced in urgent/acute care medicine and many are nationally certified nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists who practice in hospital clinic emergency departments. They evaluate, stabilize, treat and care for pediatric trauma patients through histories, assessments, physical examinations, ordering and performing diagnostic tests and procedures, prescribing medications and developing treatment plans.
Collaborating with the attending physician, the Advanced Practice Provider in the ED, manages the entire Emergency course of treatment and provides comprehensive time sensitive, family-centered care for these critically ill or injured children. The advanced practice provider is a nurse leader whose role includes consulting, educating, administration and research in addition to the clinical component in the Emergency Department.
