    Author: Stallwood LG.
    Journal: J Spec Pediatr Nurs; 2006 Oct; 11(4):227-33. PubMed ID: 16999744.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To help children with chronic illnesses and their caregivers assess emergency preparedness. CONCLUSIONS: Little work has been done to ascertain patient adherence levels to these recommendations. Additionally, little is known about the seeking patterns of healthcare providers and/or changes in interventions based on certain elements of emergency preparedness, such as the presence of medical alert identification and an emergency kit. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Healthcare providers must discover their patients' level of emergency preparedness and facilitate the acquisition and implementation of elements of emergency preparedness that meet their patients' needs.
