Case Studies 

ACOEM is currently developing case studies on AED programs from several companies that responded to the AED survey. The case studies will include company facts and a description of the AED program, as detailed below. It is intended for these case studies to be available on this webpage by March 2004.

COMPANY FACTS 

• Company Business/Mission
• Demographics (# of employees, # of locations)
• Culture (Does senior management support health programs?)

DESCRIPTION OF AED PROGRAM 

• How long has your organization had an AED program?
• Why did your organization decide to implement an AED program?
  Who were the key players that initiated the program?
• If applicable, how did your organization overcome objections to deploying the program?
• How was the program developed? Who were key individuals involved?
• How was the program implemented?
• What criteria are used to determine where to place the AEDs?
• What resources are needed for the AED program?
• Who is trained to respond, and why criteria for selecting these individuals? How often are responders trained?
• How does your organization educate employees about the AED program?
• Does your organization have provisions to conduct drills in association with local emergency medical services (EMS)?
• How is the program evaluated?
• Outcomes—what is the success rate of the program?
• How does your organization promote the AED program?
• If applicable, provide one or two success stories with quotes from employees saved.
