DoDEA School Health Services Manual 2942.0 Volume 1 Revised: 2016 DRAFT
In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services is publishing this
notice pursuant to section 7 of the Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999, Public
Law 106-129, 42 U.S.C. 241 note, and section 247 of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 238p (as added by section 403 of the Public Health Improvement Act, Public Law
106-505).
The guidelines provide a general framework for initiating a design process for
public access defibrillation (PAD) programs in Federal facilities and provide basic
information to familiarize facilities leadership with the essential elements of a PAD
program. The guidelines are not intended to exhaustively address or cover all aspects
of AED or PAD programs. They are aimed at outlining the key elements of a PAD
program so that facility-specific, detailed plans and programs can be developed in an
informed manner.
To retrieve details go to:
The public access defibrillation program is in collaboration with the local MTF, a
standing order for the AED and program is signed by a MTF physician annually.
Maintenance of the AED is also in collaboration with the MTF. Replacement of AED
adult and child pads and AED batteries are requested by the school nurse as needed
and funded by the school district office.
F-4-3 Emergency Plans
The school nurse will develop an emergency plan with the collaboration of the
MTF to manage medical emergencies relevant to the respective community. The plan
will include “what to do, who will do”, when the school nurse is not available or not in
the building. The plan will be posted in highly visible areas within the school. (see
Delegation of Nursing Care).
Other Unpredictable Emergency Events —there may be epidemics, bomb threats,
and facility deficiencies that endanger the health and safety of students and school
personnel. The installation commander may close the schools for such emergencies as
deemed necessary. The principal and school nurse, and Crisis Management Team
members should work together to develop emergency procedures in coordination with
appropriate military officials. The school nurse should work with the principal and the
faculty to ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors.
