Best Case Practices for Emergency Action Plans

This presentation is a replay from COPA Con 2023, providing another opportunity to access its valuable content and insights.

Abstract:
As the athletic training profession continues to grow, we must remain vigilant in making sure that proper policies and procedures are instituted and followed to ensure successful outcomes. Recent litigation has shown that when policies are not followed or care does not follow the best case practice recommendations that medical staff can and will be held liable for negative outcomes. With that being said, it is critical that athletic trainers have the opportunity to review best case practice recommendations for design and implantation of emergency action plans. This session seeks to fulfill this need through the use of the identified evidence-based methods taught by allied health care professionals in athletic training with a significant level of experience in their respective field.

• Identify different components of emergency action plans.
