The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued statewide guidance for Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERP) as required by Kansas Senate Bill 19, which was signed into law by Gov. Laura Kelly in April.
A CERP is a structured, written plan that outlines essential steps to reduce fatalities from sudden cardiac arrest. These new CERP standards aim to help schools, workplaces and community organizations develop clear, actionable plans to address sudden cardiac arrest emergencies. While these guidelines are not regulations, they provide crucial recommendations for saving lives in cardiac emergencies.
