Automated External
Defibrillation > Determine Deployment Criteria
|
| |
The
AED program manager must develop and document deployment
policies and procedures to ensure consistency throughout
the organization. Organizational resources in management,
law, and medicine should be pooled to develop and document
a policy that addresses:
-
how broadly AEDs will be deployed throughout the organization,
-
what criteria will be used to determine which facilities
will get AEDs, and
- the
timeframe for full organization-wide deployment and training.
The chief factors affecting deployment
criteria include the financing committed to the project
and federal, state, local, and medical regulations. The
financing may impact the breadth of the program and the
implementation timeframe. Laws and regulations pertaining
to medical oversight and training must be ascertained and
followed for every site where AEDs will be placed. If the
organization does not have legal and medical advisors and
the manager does not feel qualified in these areas, help
is available from SOS Technologies.
