§ 3072. Description. Emergency medical services for children is a
system for the immediate recognition and management of sudden illness
and injury in children that embraces the continuum of pediatric
emergency medical, trauma, and disaster care, from prevention through
rehabilitation, and addresses emergency medical dispatch, prehospital
emergency care, inhospital emergency care, and primary, secondary, and
tertiary health care, in support of pediatric care provided within the
child's medical home. It is not separate from, but fully integrated
with, the emergency medical services system at all levels of emergency
medical services system organization, in the community, in the region,
and in the state.
