Dr.Ramgopal's PEDSnet project is titled "Clinical Decision Support of Pediatric Pneumonia", this project will be explored using the following aims:

• To determine health-systems stakeholder priorities in the development of usable CDS tools to promote guideline concordant management of pneumonia in the emergency department with the goals of reducing unnecessary chest radiograph use and facilitating antimicrobial stewardship.
  
• To assess knowledge, attitudes, barriers and facilitators towards AI-aided CDS among patients/caregivers seeking care for evaluation of a respiratory concern with respect to the use of decision-making tools in the ED. 
  
• To construct an analytical dataset to identify characteristics associated with CAP which may be abstracted from the electronic medical record (EMR).
