Our Story
Mother and daughter writing team Janet and Laura Greenwald have been helming The Next of Kin Education Project since 2002. NOKEP began after Jan’s mother Elaine died at the hands of a Chicago hospital due to massive negligence. To them the worst part was, that the hospital failed to notify them that Elaine had even been hospitalized for days.
By the time they were notified, they couldn’t get to her in time and Elaine died unnecessarily and alone. After finding out there were no laws in Illinois or California that made next of kin notification mandatory, duo authored and enacted three pieces of healthcare legislation in both states.
Laura and Jan later created the Seven Steps to Successful Notification System providing quick, easy next of kin notification for trauma patients in hospitals like Dallas’ Methodist Medical Center. The Seven Steps provide hospitals with the techniques and resources needed to notify and reunite trauma victims, John Does and unconscious emergency room patients with their loved ones, quickly and easily. The new “Creating A Next of Kin Notification Program,” provides healthcare facilities with the comprehensive training they need to create a fully operational NOK notification system for only $299.
On this site you can find everything you need to know about Next of Kin Notification, quick and easy ways to stay safe in emergencies, more about our Action Plans & tons of free downloads, articles and. So look around and have a great time exploring! |
