Implementing pediatric-focused clinical decision support (CDS) into hospital electronic health records can lead to improvements in patient care and accelerate quality improvement and research initiatives. However, its design, development, and implementation can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor that may not be feasible for all hospital settings. ⋯ Overall, freestanding children's hospitals had the greatest breadth in CDS coverage across conditions and depth in CDS types within conditions. Future initiatives should examine the relationship between CDS availability and clinical outcomes as well as its relationship with hospitals' performance executing multicenter informatics projects, quality improvement collaboratives, and implementation science strategies.

Increased hospital admissions due to COVID-19 place a disproportionate strain on inpatient general medicine service (GMS) capacity compared to other services. ⋯ Admission redistribution based on diagnosis is a safe lever to reduce capacity strain on GMS during COVID-19 surges.
