There are many reasons you became a health care professional.   

Feeling helpless isn’t one of them.     

But when you’re looking down at a critically injured trauma patient and the only thing that will save his life is the medical history you don’t have, helpless is exactly what you feel.   

Or when you’re working desperately to find your dying patient’s family before it’s too late for them to say goodbye.  Again, helpless.   

But it doesn’t have to be that way.  What if you could eliminate that helpless feeling?   

What if you could locate your patient’s next of kin and medical history quickly and easily?   What if there was as a simple plan you could use to reduce liability and increase patient safety in Seven Steps?  What if you could seamlessly implement the process in your facility in 90 days?    

Every hospital knows that timely next of kin notification is vital – especially when your patient is a victim of sudden illness or trauma and is lying in your emergency department unconscious or worse, unidentified. 

Not only is it important to have a family member present to comfort the patient, but to have them on site to make informed treatment decisions and to provide the medical history that often means the difference between life and death.

But when that call is delayed, lives are at stake, patient satisfaction is compromised and the hospital opens itself up to unnecessary liability. 

And in a growing number of states, the delay of a timely next of kin call is not only against the standard of care, it’s against state law. That’s why we created the Seven Steps Notification System.

In “Creating a Next of Kin Notification Program”, you’ll receive the background and tools your facility needs to locate an unconscious patient’s emergency contact information, perform next of kin notifications and obtain informed consent, quickly and easily.  With concise, easy to follow benchmarks, the program has everything that hospitals need to train trauma team members to perform next of kin notifications quickly and easily in every situation.

The only next of kin notification training system for hospitals, the Program was specially created to promote patient health, safety and satisfaction, while helping hospitals reduce legal and malpractice liability.

Once you’re familiar with the Seven Steps System, you’ll use our Six-Sigma based Program guide to rollout the Notification Program to your own facility.   With the Program you’ll receive Patient Tracking Worksheets to track an unconscious patient's progress through the notification process, giving staff members the real time data they need at every stage, as well as a documented legal record of the steps that have been taken.  It also includes program documentation, work flows, training tools and everything you need to create your very own Notification Program.  

For the past several years we have been using the same tools to train hospitals across the country.  Our team's consulting rates range from $20,000 to $50,000 to create and implement an onsite Notification Program.  But we’ve decided to share this knowledge with hospitals in the US, for a short time, at a very special price.  During the next few months you can get the downloadable “Creating a Next of Kin Notification Program," guides and tools for only $299.00.  

Get your copy today, start implementing the process and in 90 days you and your staff will have the tools they need to locate and use that critically injured trauma patient's medical history to save his life.  And you won't have to work desperately to find your dying patient’s family before it’s too late.  You'll have the tools you need to find them, reunite them with your patient and give that family the most important thing of all -- the chance to say goodbye.  

And that helpless feeling?  That will only be a memory.
