{"v":"<p dir=\"auto\">From Jane (7 Oct 2026), about the Patient Information &amp; Emergency\/Disaster Preparedness Plan:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">This form bothers me. The question about special needs is a check box, yes or no. What&#39;s the point of asking that question if you don&#39;t know what the special needs are. Think I&#39;m going to ask about this because they go crazy preparing for extreme weather conditions. Seems as though knowing what the special needs are might be helpful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The paper defines special needs as &#34;one who needs assistance during evacuation and sheltering because of physical or mental handicaps or one who requires a level of care and resources beyond the basic first aid level of care that is available in shelters for the general population.&#34;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Jane is asking the customer.<\/strong> If they agree, options:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Add a follow-up &#34;What are the special needs?&#34; shown when the answer is Yes (a list, plus free text), kept with the visit even if the paper has no line for it; or<\/li>\n<li>Fill it from what we already know (the Class I\u2013IV category further down the same form, equipment, ADLs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Related: #141 (prefill this form&#39;s check boxes), #100 (STEAR registration).<\/p>\n"}
