Evaluating Pediatric Emergency Care Within Epic Cosmos

Key Points

This research aims to characterize pediatric emergency department encounters within the Epic Cosmos platform.
Analyzed pediatric ED encounters using the Epic Cosmos platform
Compared findings with national patterns of pediatric emergency care
Assessed data quality, variability, and representation issues
Findings align with national patterns of pediatric emergency care
Identified variability in coding and data mapping
Highlighted potential for assessing care quality in pediatric emergency medicine

Abstract

We characterized pediatric ED encounters within the Epic Cosmos platform, which is consistent with national patterns of pediatric ED care. These findings highlight the utility of Cosmos for assessing care quality and variability in pediatric emergency medicine, although findings should be interpreted cautiously given variability in coding, data mapping, and institutional representation.
