What is PECARN?

Page 3: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care

Applied Research Network) is a

collaborative research network:

• 18 Hospital Emergency Department

Affiliates (HEDAs)

• Six Research Node Centers (RNC)

• A data coordinating center (DCC)

PECARN provides the leadership

and infrastructure to:

• Conduct multi-center research studies

• Support research collaboration among EMSC investigators

• Promote informational exchanges between EMSC investigators and providers

GOAL OF PECARN

Page 7: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Conduct meaningful and rigorous

multi-institutional research into

the prevention and management of

acute illnesses and injuries in

children and youth across the

continuum of emergency medicine

health care.

STRENGTHS OF PECARN

Page 9: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

PECARN's strength is in its wide

geographical and hospital

representation serving over

1,000,000 ill and injured children

annually within a network of

Hospital Emergency Department

Affiliates.

Page 10: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

The PECARN hospitals represent

diverse demographic and

geographic areas, such as:

• Academic hospitals• Community hospitals• Urban hospitals• General hospitals• Children's hospitals

Page 11: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

PECARN is comprised of senior-level

EMSC researchers and clinicians

with expertise in epidemiology,

statistics and health services

research.

RESEARCH PRIORITIES

Page 13: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Research Priorities Include:• Respiratory illnesses/asthma

• Prediction rules for high stakes/low likelihood diseases

• Medication error reduction

• Injury prevention

• Urgency and acuity scaling

Page 14: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Research Priorities Include:• Race, ethnic, class disparities in

health

• Mental health

• Treatment of infectious diseases

• Best practices in patient care

• Pain and anxiety management

Page 15: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Research Priorities Include:• Education/training outcomes

• Development of treatment algorithms

• Improvement in health outcomes for cardiac arrest

• Practice protocols

• Seizure management

• C-spine immobilization

PECARN STRUCTURE

Page 17: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

PECARN consists of:• A steering committee with

representation from each HEDA and the DCC

• Subcommittees to address specific aspects of research

HOW TO SUBMIT A RESEARCH IDEA

Page 20: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

In PECARN, each node works

collaboratively with the others and

with HRSA/MCHB to initiate,

implement, and administer network

research.

Page 21: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Specific research projects require

nodes to obtain extramural

research funding for a project to

be conducted through PECARN.

Page 22: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Idea submission

• Outside investigators should contact one of the PECARN investigators to express interest in submitting a study idea.

• The general steps for concept approval and protocol development are as follows:

Page 23: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Steps for Submission

• Contact the PI of a node to discuss an idea

• The node will review and help the PI prepare a concept for consideration to the PECARN steering committee

Page 24: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Steps for Submission

• After nodal review, submit a 2 page concept paper outlining the study idea to the PECARN Steering Committee (SC) meeting.

• Concept is voted “approved” or “not approved” at the SC meeting.

Page 25: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

Concept Should Address:

1. Why the proposed topic is important to PECARN (refer to PECARN research priorities)

2. Why the study requires a network

3. Brief background

4. Specific aims

5. Brief proposed methodology

6. Subject population

7. Sample size calculation

8. See link for sample concept: http://www.pecarn.org/helpfulResources/pecarnTraining.html

Page 26: What is PECARN? PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) is a collaborative research network: 18 Hospital Emergency Department Affiliates.

If Approved

• Investigator works with DCC and working group to develop concept into protocol

• Protocol is presented at next SC meeting

• Subcommittees provide feedback• Protocol is revised then voted on by

SC for submission as a grant
