Keep the path focused on one audience.
Pathway scope
What this covers
Clarify where students, staff, and visitors would expect to find the AED first.
Reduce class-change and event-time confusion with simple role handoff language.
Turn drills and quick guides into a concrete school follow-up conversation.
Recommended Flow
Start here, then expand.
Move through the public-safe pathway in order, then use the next-step options if you want help, training, or follow-up.
Use a simple timing model to reduce delay from recognition to AED arrival.
Adapt the worksheet for classrooms, gym zones, and front-office response routes.
Pressure-test whether a visitor or substitute could actually find the device quickly.
Turn the first three response steps into a short school-site drill.
Need team follow-up after this pathway?
Keep the public pathway focused on practice. Ask HeartSafe EMS for follow-up only when the next step needs access, training, or an AED review.
Need a different audience pathway?
HeartTrak now supports six public-safe practice pathways.
Public routes stay public-safe: setting, practice, guide, then optional team follow-up.
Where are you preparing?
Keep the audience clear before opening modules.
Answer one prompt at a time with public-safe context.
Use one drill, scenario, or guide after the result.
