Objectives of the Pediatric Emergency Research Network's (PERN's) meeting included (1) learn about each of the participating network's missions, goals, and infrastructure; (2) share important contributions each network has made to the creation of new knowledge; (3) discuss "best practices" to improve each network's effectiveness; and (4) explore the potential for a collaborative research project as proof of concept that would help us promote quality of care of the acutely ill and injured child/youth globally.
In October 2009, a multiday meeting was attended by 18 delegates representing the following pediatric emergency medicine research networks: Pediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Research Committee (United States), Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (United States), Pediatric Emergency Research of Canada (Canada), Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative (Australia and New Zealand), and Research in European Pediatric Emergency Medicine (15 countries in Europe and the Middle East).
The inaugural meeting of PERN demonstrated that there is a common desire for high-quality research and the dissemination of this research to improve health and outcomes of acutely ill and injured children and youths throughout the world. Presently, the PERN group is in the final stages of developing a protocol to assess H1N1 risk factors with the collection of retrospective data.
Several members of PERN will be gathering at the International Conference on Emergency Medicine in Singapore, where the group will be presenting information about the H1N1 initiative. The PERN group is planning to bring together all 5 networks later in 2010 to discuss future global collaborations.
儿科急诊研究网络（PERN）会议的目标包括：（1）了解每个参与网络的使命、目标和基础设施；（2）分享每个网络对新知识创造所做的重要贡献；（3）讨论提高每个网络效率的“最佳实践”；（4）探索开展一个合作研究项目作为概念验证的可能性，这将有助于我们在全球范围内提高对急病和受伤儿童/青少年的护理质量。
2009年10月，来自以下儿科急诊医学研究网络的18名代表参加了一个为期多天的会议：儿科急诊医学协作研究委员会（美国）、儿科急诊护理应用研究网络（美国）、加拿大儿科急诊研究（加拿大）、国际急诊部门儿科研究协作组（澳大利亚和新西兰）以及欧洲儿科急诊医学研究（欧洲和中东的15个国家）。
PERN的首次会议表明，大家普遍渴望开展高质量研究并传播此类研究，以改善全世界急病和受伤儿童及青少年的健康状况和治疗结果。目前，PERN小组正处于制定一项通过收集回顾性数据来评估H1N1风险因素的方案的最后阶段。
PERN的几名成员将齐聚新加坡的国际急诊医学会议，届时该小组将展示有关H1N1倡议的信息。PERN小组计划在2010年晚些时候召集所有5个网络，讨论未来的全球合作。
