How does Fresenius handle emergency situations in the clinic?

Fresenius handles emergency situations in the clinic by following established emergency protocols and having an emergency response team. This structured approach ensures that staff are prepared to respond effectively to various types of emergencies, whether they be medical, environmental, or logistical.

Having established emergency protocols means that staff are trained in specific procedures to follow during an emergency, which helps to minimize confusion and ensure swift action. The presence of an emergency response team allows for designated individuals to take charge and coordinate efforts, ensuring a more organized and effective response. This team is typically trained in first aid, CPR, and crisis management, equipping them to handle critical situations while ensuring the safety of patients and staff.

Immediate evacuation of patients, without assessing the situation, is not always the best response and may lead to panic or increased risk. Delaying action until management is present could cause further danger, as speed is often crucial in emergencies. Similarly, relying solely on external emergency services may not be timely enough to address immediate needs on-site. By having a proactive plan and trained personnel, Fresenius maximizes the capability to manage emergencies effectively.
