THE PROBLEM
During an emergency, every second spent searching is a second lost.
When a child has a reaction, staff shouldn't have to read labels, search through bags, or rely on memory to find the right medication. In a busy classroom with multiple children and caregivers, that delay can matter.
Seconds matter in an allergic reaction
Substitute staff may not know your children
Most programs use mismatched bags and labels

THE PROBLEM WITH THE NUMBERS
Emergency medication in schools is more common, and more complicated, than most people realize.
The need for better identification and organization isn't hypothetical. The data makes it clear.
27%
of the 52 million school-aged children in the US have at least one chronic medical condition requiring medication during the school day.

contributing factor to medication errors in multi-caregiver settings is miscommunication -- especially when substitute or unfamiliar staff are involved.

"The real culprits tend to be double-dosing and giving wrong doses -- miscommunication plays a major role, especially where there are multiple caregivers including childcare workers and substitute staff."
