The panel discussion will feature an interdisciplinary group of pediatricians including a general pediatrician, pediatric complex care hospitalist, pediatric emergency medicine physician, and pediatric pulmonologist to discuss the challenges faced in caring for the emergent needs of children with medical complexity across all medical settings. Children with medical complexity represent a medically and socially vulnerable group of children who require extraordinary resources to address their emergent needs. As such, collaboration and innovation across disciplines in pediatrics is essential to address the inherent challenges. The panel will briefly discuss current challenges, research, and initiatives designed to improve urgent and emergency care of children with medical complexity. As experts in the field, they will then discuss opportunities for improvement, including proposed innovative solutions that are yet to be implemented and tested. The session then will be opened for questions from the audience.
