It fills the national void of Medical Emergency Preparedness in America today.

26 hours of CME credit per person are available annually. Monthly Mock Drills, E-Mail Alerts, Clinical Scenarios and convenient 24/7 Online Testing keeps Medical Emergency Preparedness an ongoing, continual process rather than an occasional event.

What is the function of the Emergency Response Team (ERT)?

The Emergency Response Team is an important part of your Medical Emergency Plan and has the primary responsibility during an emergency situation. ERT members should be of the highest skilled qualification.

In an emergency situation, an ERT must function together and communicate clearly and rapidly. Regularly scheduled group study will facilitate familiarity, not only with the subject matter, but also with each team member and their individual role in the event of a medical emergency. Medical Emergency Education is a process, not an occasional event.

We recommend creating a 5-member (ERT) per facility of up to 30 people. A 1:6 ratio is a good standard.

What are the Five Deadly Misconceptions?

5 Deadly Misconceptions:

1. A medical emergency will not happen to me.
2. A medical emergency will not happen in the office.
3. Calling 911 is the answer.
4. My staff and I will not panic during a medical emergency.
5. CPR is all we need to know.

Emergencies happen everyday. It’s not a question of “if”you have a medical emergency. It’s a question of will you be prepared to respond when you have a medical emergency.

The best way to handle the medical emergencies is to realize the risk and be prepared.
