Establish 'Red Flag' Words

Red flag words are a verbal ‘short hand’ for important information passed between yourself and the healthcare provider. You should have red flag words defined for situations such as a breach in protocol requiring a full stop but no immediate hazard, or a breach in protocol and immediate hazard. Make certain both you and the healthcare providers not only are in agreement on these words, but also on their clear meaning.
