Question: What are all the hospital codes if not all the coloured codes. Thansk
Answers: What are all the hospital codes if not all the coloured codes. Thansk
They vary form hospital to hospital, but most commonly they are as follows:
Blue: Cardiac Arrest
Red: Fire
Pink: Infant abduction
Brown: Nursing talk for a bowel movement.
Green: All Clear
Yellow: Radiation emergency
Black is also used for death in triage situations.
I think they're different for each hospital.
each hospital tends to develop it's own codes. They keep them a secret for obvious reasons.
