Common Deficiencies in a Clinic Environment
Deficiency - Emergency response medications and supplies are not immediately available to use for treatment of the RHC patient.
Remedy - The medications and supplies approved by the Medical Director should be assembled to bring to any location within the clinic. This includes the medications and supplies in the ER Kit, a portable oxygen source, and the ventilation supplies necessary to support respiration of the adult and/or pediatric patient. Be sure to include a written dosing schedule for the emergency medications in your kit. Should a patient require immediate treatment or basic life support, all clinical staff should know where the ER Kit is located and have the supplies on hand to begin treatment. All staff should know their role during an emergency medical event and be prepared to assist the provider to stabilize the patient.
