Abstract
Full-time pediatric emergency physicians in the pediatric ED decreased the mortality rate and length of stay in the ED, but had no change in the 72-hour return visit rate. This pilot study shows that the quality of care in pediatric ED after the implementation of full-time pediatric emergency physicians needs further evaluation.
