COLORLY CODES USED IN HOSPITAL
Emergency and disaster management team and plan were established in our hospital. The necessary arrangements were made in the hospital units. In addition, trainings have been given to employees and the team.
There are also various risks in the areas where health services are provided, such as in all areas where human life continues. It is important to determine in advance these risks, what to do if they happen and how to manage risk. In this framework, a variety of tools were needed to manage emergencies and a number of stimulating systems were developed for them. One of the most widely used tools around the world for this purpose is the color codes. The color codes are determined according to the determined emergency situation;
•Notify the hospital staff
•Allowing communication in case of risk
•To give short and clear messages
•Gives time for correct intervention
•Preventing panic
•It makes it possible to be prepared for emergencies
•It provides patient and employee safety.
Trainings on color codes should be given to ensure that color codes are accepted and implemented by employees. It should be ensured that everyone who is the health institution and establishment is informed and a common language should be established.Within the scope of our quality health studies in our country, 4 different color code applications were started with blue code in 2008, pink code in 2009, white code in 2011 and red code in 2015.
Blue code; a monochrome code that uses the same color for the same emergency all over the world. It is an emergency management tool that allows patients, relatives and all hospital personnel to be intervened as soon as they need urgent medical intervention. The code given by the health practitioner via a commonly used paging system makes it possible for the intervention to be performed in the fastest and most effective manner in cases of respiratory or cardiac arrest in the hospital.
Pink code; is an emergency alert code for the purpose of timely intervention in the health institution and establishment where the risk of infant or child abduction and / or action is mentioned. The health care provider establishes a warning system for child abduction cases under its own unique circumstances.
White code: This is an emergency alert code created to intervene as soon as possible in case of violence or risk of violence against the personnel in the health institution or organization. Trainings are given to the health workers related to this code and the exercises are carried out every semester for white code application. The necessary support is provided to employees who are exposed. Subsequently, records related to actual events are submitted to quality management units and necessary corrective preventive actions are taken. A common language has been established at national level in practice by designating a separate common number for each color code in the National Color Code (URK).
Orange Code: It is an emergency code established for the rapid decontamination and treatment of patients-workers who are contaminated with chemical, biological, nuclear materials.
Red Code: This is an emergency warning code which is created to minimize and / or prevent the hazards and damages that may arise by interfering with the fire in the event of any fire danger in health institutions and organizations. Trainings should be given to health workers related to this code. The red code application must be performed at least once a year.
Orange Code: It is an emergency code established for the rapid decontamination and treatment of patients-workers who are contaminated with chemical, biological, nuclear materials.
For health, a telephone number is set for each color code in the National Color Code (URK). Thus, a common language was established in practice at the national level. The numbers are given in alphabetical order according to the initials of the codes.
