AbstractThe development and maintenance of an organized system of emergency care in isolated ambulatory health-care centers are described. A system of three community health centers, staffed chiefly by midlevel practitioners (i.e., physician's associates and nurse practitioners), had a need to provide occasional emergency care to patients. Emergency care needed to be provided (for up to one hour) until an ambulance arrived to transport the patient to a hospital. A system of emergency care, consisting of treatment protocols, a drug manual, equipment and medications, and a program for periodic inservice education was developed by physicians, midlevel practitioners, and pharmacists. Weekly checks of the supplies and medications are conducted. Lists of supplies and medications stocked, and a sample drug monograph, are included in the paper. The program has resulted in more efficient emergency care, including less confusion in executing and documenting treatment.
