WHY LET SATIB24’s DOCTORS MAKE THE MEDICAL DECISIONS?

As soon as someone pays you money for a trip or activity or pays someone

you have outsourced to, or someone enters private land which you own or manage, then you

could be at fault (i.e. liable) should something go wrong.

You have a legal duty to care for that person who is your guest.

OTEThe Golden Hour Myth-

There is nothing “golden” about the first hour after the accident.  At least not for the patient.  That’s because survival rates do not drop off precipitously 60 minutes after an injury.  In fact research has been unable to establish that there is any “magical time” for saving trauma victims.

Instead, the right things must be done at the right time to ensure victims survive and avoid permanent injury.

Think of it as a timeline stretching for hours with key moments where key things must be done just right at just the right time. This is SATIB24’s job.

For reasons that medical cases are complicated it is very difficult to defend malpractice suits.

Some typical settlements:

$2.7 million (failure to pick up a spinal cord compression in time which resulted in paraplegia)

$725 000 (wrongful death due to failure to detect a heart attack happening)

These can happen in lodges, hotels and camps. You want the SATIB24 doctor on the hook for these risks, not your staff.

There is really only one significant thing your “system” needs to do and that is prevent your organization from making mistakes in responding to a critical incidents. Not making mistakes means ensuring the most rational, appropriate response to any situation, anything less than this optimal response is an error.”

High Potential for

Loss

Limited time to respond

QU

OTE

In today’s corporate environment, Directors can be held personally liable and can be charged criminally for negligence in their duties as stewards of their companies. A key responsibility is called “business preparedness” – companies should have a pre-planned system for dealing with critical incidents that may cause harm and loss. This system is referred to as the company’s Incident Management System.

After Receiving the Orientation Pack we strongly suggest having one person (think of it as a site champion for this initiative) call us to make personal contact. We can then discuss further needs you might have.

Because further needs may involve visits and equipment and training and workshops and in short, additional costs, we can provide a sensible opinion about whether contracting other providers and incurring cost are useful and advisable to you or not.

We remain your advocate and look after your interests in all ways.

FAQ’s

FAQ

Yes, any SATIB client can access S24 for any critical incident which can significantly affect their business, assets or Human Life

However be aware that if you do not have specific emergency evacuation or emergency services insurance cover then you may have to pay the costs of other service providers yourself.

If we have GPL or PAX Liability, are we able to use S24 and if so how?

FAQShould we call the local emergency

services first or should we phone S24?

We strongly recommend that you call S24 first. Not doing so may result in:

• Errors in care of the patient for which you could be held liable

• Unnecessary costs incurred which you may not be able to claim back from your/ guest travel insurance.

• Confusion if we call too, which we see resulting in delays and unsatisfactory experiences.

FAQCan I access a plane/helicopter

through S24 at any time?

Yes S24 can activate air evacuation resources if the situation calls for this. However you need to manage guest expectations:

Aviation law states that no aircraft may take off or land at an unlit airstrip after dark or before sunrise.

Can altitude do more harm than good to the patient i.e. are they fit to fly?

Not every case is best managed with a helicopter and a heli is not always available. If it is, we will get it.

FAQWhat resources can S24 make use of in

an event of an emergency incident?

The S24 Incident Management Team can activate any appropriate resource in or from any country in Africa. Typical resources include:

• Tele-Medical Consultations• Emergency service providers i.e. air ambulance,

paramedics, ground ambulance etc.• Legal counsel• Crisis Communication experts• Registered Trauma counselors• Other experts i.e. National disasters teams, repatriation

experts etc

FAQIf a client has travel insurance,

will S24 contact them?As a rule S24 gets the Travel insurer involved

as soon as possible as they would be the primary payers for the medical care of their member. Should they not be involved or notified they may repudiate some if not all the expenses incurred by the guest.

It is not advisable for you to incur costs privately during an incident without the advisement of S24 as you may not be able to get reimbursed for these costs.

FAQWhat do we do if we cannot get

through to S24?There are back-up numbers to ensure that

this does not happen. If for some reason you are unable to get through on the golden number revert to the two back-up numbers.

We always have two managers on standby to take your calls.

Refer to your most recent protocol document for the numbers and do a

test call.
