Emergency Room

Nobody knows when an emergency will occur—which is why it is important to plan ahead for you and your family. Keep a list or packet of medical information readily available for an emergency room visit. This information will help paramedics or the emergency room team provide quick and appropriate care.

Your emergency room list or packet should include information such as:

• Name, date of birth and blood type for all family members
• Emergency contacts for family or a friend, including primary care doctors/pediatricians
• List of medications for each family member including prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines
• Medical histories, including existing conditions, allergies, illnesses, surgeries, tests and medical devices (such as a pacemaker)
• A copy of your Advance DirectivesMedical Living Will, and Medical Power of Attorney
• (Spanish) Medical Living Will (Spanish) Power of Attorney
• Medical consents for minors
• Copy of your insurance card

Additionally, be sure to contact your health insurance company every year to find out which hospitals and emergency rooms are in your provider’s network. Talk to your family’s pediatrician, primary care doctor or specialist to find out when it is appropriate to go to the emergency room, especially if you already have a health condition. Sometimes an urgent care center can provide the treatment you need.
