Communication Cards
The cards are designed to assist in communication with adult and pediatric patients, especially non-English speakers or those who are non-verbal.
The communication cards are used as a tool for health care professionals to assist in communicating with adult and pediatric patients and their families. The cards are especially useful for non-English speaking and nonverbal patients by using emojis to illustrate aspects of medical care. They are made of a durable material that can be cleaned and used with dry erase markers. The card sets are bound together on a ring clip for easy usage and storage by EMS, emergency departments, and hospitals.
The cards may be helpful with:
- Serving as a distraction tool
- Performing a history & physical assessment
- Determining pain level & mechanism of injury
- Explaining treatments & testing
- Providing discharge instructions
