ABOUT US

PRĪS is a pediatric hospitalist research network. Hospitalists are physicians whose clinical practice is the care of hospitalized patients. Hospitalists are hospital-based physicians who want to ensure the system is delivering the highest quality of care for patients. The PRĪS Network has a vision to be the premier research network and continually define what best practice is and how it should be implemented.
