The information provided on this webpage is designed as a reference for emergency departments (and UCCs) that care for children across the health system.

As a general rule, these are supportive algorithms and not policies and are intended to be used at the discretion of the provider.

However, this information is being made available to assist medical providers inside and outside of the Inova system in understanding many of the processes and algorithms that direct care within the emergency setting. This information is being shared with the recognition that there is significant overlap across practice settings and is intended to smooth the transition between practice locations.
