Study Notes
Active Shooter Response
- Good response practices in an active shooter event do not include approaching law enforcement for help.
- If evacuation is safe, quickly move to a designated safe area.
- Immediate law enforcement deployment is essential to neutralize the shooter and minimize further harm.
Notification and Information
- When safely notifying 911 during an active shooter event, provide location, number of shooters, descriptions, weapons, and how many people are with you.
- Include the estimated number of potential victims in your report.
Post-Incident Analysis
- After an active shooter incident, create an after-action report detailing responses and lessons learned to improve future strategies.
Safety During Evacuation
- While evacuating, it is critical to warn others and prevent entry into areas where danger exists.
Law Enforcement Priorities
- Upon arrival, law enforcement's primary goal is to locate and incapacitate the shooter.
Emergency Notification System
- The Active Shooter Response Plan excludes media from the emergency notification protocol.
Calm Leadership
- Building occupants often follow the calm example set by trained staff during emergencies.
Workplace Violence
- Increased awareness of warning signs and prompt action enhance the likelihood of preventing workplace violence.
Biomedical Services
- Contact Biomedical Services at 668-7355 for assistance.
Clinical Equipment Tracking
- The color-coded service tag indicates the next service due date, while CHKD clinical asset tags must have unique numbers for tracking compliance.
Equipment Maintenance and Requests
- Emergency service requests for clinical equipment need to be made directly, as KDNet is for routine maintenance only.
- Work requests must include the asset tag number, equipment location, and a description of the issue.
Clinical Equipment Categories
- Low-risk clinical equipment lacks routine preventive maintenance and only carries an asset tag, not a PM sticker.
- All clinical equipment must have bar-coded asset tags with CSSG and CMG printed on the label.
After-Hours Equipment Servicing
- For servicing clinical equipment after operational hours, contact the Hospital Nursing Supervisor.
Missing Child Protocol
- Responding to a missing child event ("Code Pink") is obligatory, regardless of your immediate work area.
- An abductor can impersonate healthcare personnel, posing a significant risk for child safety.
Child Abduction Risk Factors
- Situations placing a child at risk for abduction include various familial and environmental factors.
Code Pink Announcement
- "Code Pink" is the alert issued when a child goes missing to mobilize immediate response and awareness.
Custody Disputes
