I am planning on making emergency information cards to take for outings in case of an emergency. I have all kids' information including OHIP number in the Emergency form that parents filled out for me. What I am not sure is whether it would be of help for first responders to have that number or is that something that parents can provide when they arrive to the hospital.
I do not want to include in the cards personal information that is not necessary (just in case it get lost for example).
I have called 911 for a couple of times (but it had to do with my family). I cannot remember when the OHIP card/number was provided... I think I was more concerned about the issue than the ambulance/hospital procedure...
Has any of you had called 911 for a DCK? Did they requested the OHIP number when they arrived? Did parents provide it when they met the child at the hospital?
Thanks for your advice!
