About

This recorded education session focuses on patient tracking and family reunification during emergencies. It describes the importance of reuniting children with families to prevent trauma and stress. The checklist is divided into three levels: foundational, intermediate, and advanced, each with specific guidelines for hospitals. Key elements include having a plan, trained staff, secure spaces for children, and tools like identification forms. Hospitals should work with schools and community partners to improve plans. Resources from organizations like the American Red Cross can help in developing effective strategies for family reunification during disasters.
