Hi there! Thank you for the advice, and for the 1:1 call. you helped me clear my head and be ready for my next discussion with the camp director. I was able to avoid stalemates that started with him saying that I was the only one who had questions, wasn’t comfortable giving out OTC without standing order and was looking for policies.
Plan:
We have no med director so only daily/prn meds for individuals with PMD note/order and parent permission will be given. I have been contacting parents who’s children have daily meds, asthma and known ANA allergies and they will send the PMD plan used at school with all labeled meds.
If a child comes in non-emergency and may benefit from an OTC I will call parent to discuss, possibley contact PMD if needed.
Unsolved problem:
I am looking now for a way to keep ben/EPI on site and admin for the ‘surprise’ allergy. The camp is a suburban location and close to 2 hospitals, director says that EMS arrival has been less that 5 min in the past.
Is this enough?
Tara
