Online and offline medical control for pediatric trauma is available to ALS. BLS online control is being trialed in NE King County. The focus is on whether or not to transfer or not and is is adult focused. There is access to robust online trainng and hand on training for BLS. ALS providers need more diverse training. 3:35 Peds Workgroup Our plan is to work with Sam Arbabi to incorporate pediatric trauma data review into the QA committee activities at least annually. Work with the Northwest Healthcare Response Network to promote an annual hospital pediatric care conference. The pediatric care workgroup continues to meet at the Regional Council meetings to develop strategies to improve both hospital and prehospital pediatric care. . The Workgroup recommended that the Council consider financing high quality content and train the trainer classes. The Workgroup will discuss the training issue at the next meeting.
