4 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey Survey Introduction While most healthcare facilities use some form of emergency code system to discreetly relay urgent information to hospital personnel during emergency incidents, the application of specific codes are not always consistent between facilities. This lack of standardization increases the potential for confusion or misinformation during critical times. Standardizing hospital emergency codes can benefit hospital employees, patients, and visitors by reducing confusion and allowing staff to appropriately respond to emergency incidents (such as natural disasters or terrorist events.) In August 2009, the California Hospital Association (in partnership with the regional hospital associations) surveyed over 260 California healthcare facilities to assess statewide hospital emergency code usage. A follow up survey was conducted in August 20; 240 California hospitals responded to the survey (07 in the Hospital Association of Southern California area, 09 in the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California area and 24 in the Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties area). This report provides analysis of 20 survey data and the results reveal changes and trends in emergency code usage when compared to the 2009 survey report. The final results of these surveys illustrate ongoing progress in hospital emergency code implementation among California healthcare facilities. 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 3

5 SECTION : Statewide Cumulative Survey Results 240 California hospitals responded to the survey 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 4

6 FIRE As in 2009, nearly all hospitals surveyed reported use of CODE RED to announce fire. All survey respondents (in both 2009 and 20) reported use of an emergency code for fire incidents: 99.6% 98.9% %.2% 0% 0% Code Red Other No Code Only one other code was reported on the survey for fire alerts: hospital reported use of CODE FIRESTONE. 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 5

7 MEDICAL EMERGENCY - ADULT 20 survey data shows growth in the number of California hospitals using CODE BLUE for Adult Medical Emergencies. According to survey data, usage of this code has increased from 89.3% in 2009 to 97.5% in 20.The recent survey data also shows that nearly all hospitals have adopted an emergency code for this type of event: 97.5% 89.3% % 2.% 3.4% 0.4% Code Blue Other No Code 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 6

8 MEDICAL EMERGENCY - ADULT Other codes used in California hospitals to alert adult medical emergencies (shown by count of hospitals using each code): Yellow Adult Code 99 Code Team Code Green Code Rapid Response 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 7

9 MEDICAL EMERGENCY - PEDIATRIC Recent survey data show an increased number of California hospitals are using CODE WHITE to announce Pediatric Medical Emergencies. The 20 data shows a clear shift away from other codes, with a 2.5% increase in CODE WHITE usage since 2009: 48.4% 48.9% % 35.9% 8.6% 5.3% Code White Other No Code 45.3% of hospitals using Other use Code Blue Non-applicable survey responses have been excluded from this category. 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey 8

13 CHILD ABDUCTION CODE PURPLE continues to be the prevailing alert used for child abduction events. In comparing 20 data to 2009, shifts towards usage of CODE PURPLE are evident; more hospitals are recognizing the importance of adopting a child abduction emergency code: 67.0% 56.% % 32.% 4.8%.8% Code Purple Other No Code 46.2% of hospitals using Other use Code Pink 20 Hospital Emergency Code Standardization Survey Non-applicable survey responses have been excluded from this category. 2

15 BOMB THREAT 3 out of 4 hospitals in California are using CODE YELLOW to announce bomb threat alerts.
