MEETING
DETAILS
This
month's presentation will be The AEDs of an AED Program by
Mary Beth O’Connell, RN, COHN-S, ARM-P. AEDs save lives and
have become the standard of care in our communities. As of
October 2001, all 50 states had enacted defibrillator laws
or regulations to encourage easy access and limit liability for
AED service
providers.
Buying an AED is easy, but implementing an AED program is
much more than signing a purchase order and hanging them on
the wall. California
law is complicated, and AEDs in the workplace requires a risk-managed
program. This means that you have thoroughly completed your “AEDs” before
instituting an AED intervention program to comply with state
laws or regulations. The AEDs of an AED program are Assessment,
Evaluation,
and Design, as well as additional safety and risk management
considerations. Join us for the overview!
The
Chapter meetings are held at the China
Buffet. The restaurant is located at 1402 Broadway,
Sacramento, CA 95818, next to the Tower Theater.
The
China
Buffet’s
meeting room holds 90 people comfortably (with
no poles to block the view of the speaker). Parking is
a concern,
so we
will encourage
members to arrive by 11:15 pm.
Meetings
are held from 11:30 to 1:00 at the China Buffet every
fourth Tuesday. Cost
is $15. We
take checks! No reservations required. Lunch will
start at 11:30 and the presentation will begin 12:00.
