Improving children's health through research
Collaboration
Pediatric health systems across the country work together to do research in PEDSnet
THE PROBLEMS WE FACE
Most research is done on adults, and children are excluded from studies
Research takes too long and is too expensive
There’s not enough research to decide which treatment is best for a child
AND HOW WE WORK TO SOLVE THEM
Big Health Data
We create large health care data sets using electronic health records and other clinical data for children
Impact
We conduct research to provide useful information to inform patients' and clinicians' decisions
PEDSnet Research produces useful information to improve children's health and healthcare.
