Hi! 

I work in a FQHC and we have implemented a rapid response team to go to all 'nurse pages' or code blues if they were to happen within the clinic.

I was curious if any other ambulatory clinic has a crash cart or similar type of team? I was curious on what their crash carts look like as I feel the crash cart at my clinic is far too stocked for type of care or possible scenarios that could happen. I know we should keep things just for the "what if" scenarios; but I was curious on what other clinics keep in theirs and if they could possible send me a list? 

Thank you!

Hi Taylor,

I also work at an FQHC. We have an FQHC group going that meets monthly to discuss challenges specific to this type of clinic, please let me know if you'd like to join! We also have a Google Chat going where we ask questions, etc. In a few months, we will have our own SIG as well!! 

We have been working on this as well. I've attached our med list for our emergency boxes. We do BLS only. We have epi vials in our box, but they are to be used for inhalation via nebulizer only. We had a 60-some page document of all of our "what-ifs" and realized that there was just no way to keep up with a document that long or for anyone to know what to do in an emergency if they had to look it up in a document that long. So we have this laminated med list with dosing no all of our lock boxes. This version is missing a few details (in yellow). I can't seem to locate the finished copy that is on our boxes but this is a good start. 

Happy to connect and chat!
