Emergency Card

The Emergency Card feature is intended to help service users to be identified in an emergency. It can be enabled as a section on records, via Customise Orgs & People. The service user carries a card with an identifying number (the Emergency Card Number) and your organisation's details. In an emergency, paramedics etc can contact your organisation and quote the number; the service user (and their needs, medication details etc) can then be looked up in the system using the Emergency Card Lookup.

The Emergency Card screen lets you set an Emergency Card Number for any organisation/person on the system. You can also add the start/issue date and the expiry/end date, if applicable.
