The purpose of this multiyear multidisciplinary Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded patient safety learning lab is to develop pediatric care environments in the ED that promote safe, efficient and effective care by minimizing unnecessary stressors for patients while also improving provider well-being. This project includes a focus on the needs of children and their caregivers from minority communities in order to address disparities in mental and behavioral health (MBH) care in the emergency department (ED). Collaborating institutions include Clemson University (CAAH, Industrial Engineering and College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences), Prisma Health, and the University of South Carolina. PI: Anjali Joseph. Project period: 2022-2026
