Pediatric Resource Commons / Centre de ressources communes en pédiatrie
Welcome to the Pediatric Resource Commons!
The Pediatric Resource Commons has been created as a repository for resources
related to pediatric hospice palliative and end-of-life care. Here you will
find resources on a number of topics of interest to those caring for children
at the end of life. The Pediatric Resource Commons enables each of us to share
resources and will ultimately provide the opportunity for collaborative resource
development.
Searching the Commons
The Pediatric Resource Commons is organized into the following categories and
sub-categories:
Categories:

You can either browse the Pediatric Commons or search using key words.
- You can browse within each category or within a sub-category. You will see a
list of all of the items. Just select the category you want and hit search.
- You can search the Pediatric Commons by typing in a keyword. You can choose
to search the whole Commons by simply typing in your keyword in the box provided.
Or you can narrow your search by selecting a category before searching on your
keyword – or narrow it further by selecting a sub-category.
Sharing Resources
You can share resources in the commons in three different ways:
- You can upload a resource to the commons for others to download
- You can provide a link to another website – the source of the resource.
- Or, if you just want to let people know about a resource, you can describe
it and provide your contact information so that people can get in touch with you if
they want more information.
When you upload your resource, an administrator at CHPCA reviews the submission before
it is added to the Commons. You will be contacted if additional information is required.
Please note, this process may take up to 7 days to complete.
In order to add a resource you must register as a user. Your personal information
will not be shared with anyone.
The Pediatric Commons also contains a Peer Review function. This enables users of
the site to post and review comments concerning a specific resource. When viewing the
details of a resource you will be able to view the comments and the overall rating
the resource has received. Please note, in order to benefit from this function and
include your personal notes, you must be logged in to the site as a user.
The CHPCA gratefully acknowledges the financial support of Bayshore Home Health
towards the development of this Pediatric Resource Commons.
