Managers: use color-coded forms in the ED.
New color-coded products, including treatment sheets and discharge instructions, have been tested at four North Carolina EDs. Color-coded treatment sheets give dosages and equipment sizes to use for acute pediatric patients. Color-coded discharge instruction sheets help parents determine medication dosages and injury prevention for their children. Over-the-counter products are being created to help parents calculate correct medication doses for children.
