At the beginning of the pandemic, little was known about the effect of COVID-19 on children, urging pediatric health care systems to rapidly, efficiently, and safely address new challenges. This article describes structural, procedural, and functional changes developed in a pediatric ED to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion also includes case studies to illustrate the changes made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
