[Systemic approach: improving patient management in paediatric emergency departments]

Abstract

The main mission of paediatric emergency departments is to assess the health status of children and perform a triage depending on their pathology. The role of the children's health nurse is essential for delivering the care but also for constructing, with the young patient and the family, a relationship of trust. To do so, she uses her knowledge and expertise to support these vulnerable families.
