In the fields of healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention, evidence to guide pediatric practice has been lacking for quite some time. However, in the past few decades, more and more pediatric clinicians, researchers, epidemiologists, and infection preventionists have been contributing to this important field. This book discusses topics that pediatric providers must tackle in many settings: in ambulatory clinics, emergency departments, community hospitals, and freestanding university children's hospitals.
