Build Your School's Medical Emergency Response Plan with Med-E Ready
Onboard Your Leadership
Support from school leadership is important to fully adopting Med-E Ready. You’ll received a customized report of your school’s medical readiness, which often motivates leadership to address gaps. Through the Med-E Ready Calendar, you’ll plan for a successful year of optimizing your schools medical preparedness.
Onboard Staff, Students, Families
Members of your school’s community need to know that your school takes medical emergencies seriously. Every person, from the youngest student to the most senior school official, needs to know their roles during a medical emergency. They’ll learn that in Med-E Ready.
Create Your Team and Protocol
Creating your school’s medical emergency response protocol may seem daunting. Rest assured, with the step-by-step, video-led, downloadable guide, you will be successful in both identifying members of your school-based medical team AND in that team’s development and implementation of the school’s medical protocol.
Run Drills with Your Team
Practicing your protocol with your school’s medical team is critical to effectively responding during a true emergency. Just as you do fire drills, medical drills will help your school be confident when an emergency happens.
Maintain Preparedness
Quarterly drills and annual education allow your school to maintain its readiness for medical emergencies. You’ll also review your progress annually with a customized report, which will leave you feeling confident about your new level of preparedness.
What do the experts say?
Every school needs a customized medical emergency response plan. That plan must include a team composed of school staff and a protocol that is practiced.
“The increase in the number of children with special health care needs and chronic medical conditions attending schools, together with the added challenges faced by school districts to ensure that schools have access to on-site, licensed health care professionals on an ongoing basis, have contributed to added risks that medical and nonmedical personnel face in dealing with medical emergencies in schools.”
“By having plans in place to keep students and staff safe, schools play a key role in taking preventative and protective measures to stop an emergency from occurring or reduce the impact of an incident.”
