In order to care for an ill or injured child, it is crucial that every emergency department (ED) has a minimum set of personnel and resources because the majority of children are brought to the geographically nearest ED. In addition to adequate preparation for basic pediatric emergency care, a comprehensive, specialized healthcare system should be in place for a critically-ill or injured victim. Regionalization of healthcare means a system providing high-quality and cost-effective care for victims who present with alow frequency, but critical condition, such as multiple trauma or cardiac arrest. Within the pediatric field, neonatal intensive care and pediatric trauma care are good examples of regionalization. For successful regionalized pediatric emergency care, all aspects of a pediatric emergency system, from pre-hospital field to hospital care, should be categorized and coordinated. Efforts to set up the pediatric emergency care regionalization program based on a nationwide healthcare system are urgently needed in Korea.

“…6,21,22 Proximity and rapid transport to a hospital where such care can be provided is critical and may result in major reduction of mortality rates in trauma patients. 14,27, 28 We have described lower rates of death from trauma in counties with PICU facilities compared with counties without such facilities, which argues for the importance of proximity to care in the presence of pediatric trauma and critical care specialists with high levels of expertise and technical skills.…”
