Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator Presence and Pediatric Care Quality Measures
The presence of a PECC was not consistently associated with quality-of-care measures. The presence of a PECC was variably associated with performance on imaging utilization measures, suggesting a potential influence of PECCs on clinical care processes. Additional studies are needed to understand the role of PECCs in driving adherence to clinical care guidelines and improving quality and patient outcomes.
