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

Collaboration

Pediatric health systems across the country work together to do research in PEDSnet

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.
