When Someone Can't Speak For Themselves, Information Matters.
The Next of Kin Education Project began with one family, one hospital stay and a phone call that came far too late.
Since then, our work has focused on a simple idea: make it easier for families, patients and healthcare professionals to find the right information and the right people when it matters most.
For Healthcare Professionals
Seven Steps. One Goal.
Make sure the right person gets the call.
Notify In Seven™ gives emergency care teams a practical process for identifying and locating a patient's next of kin or surrogate decision maker, making the notification, documenting the steps taken and keeping unresolved cases moving.

Why NOKEP Exists
One Call Can Change Everything.
After Elaine Sullivan was hospitalized for a fall that rendered her unable to speak, the hospital didn't notify her family for days that she had even been in an accident. By the time the call finally came, she was in critical condition, giving Jan and Laura no time to reach her before she died, or to give the physicians treating her the information they needed to save her life. Laura and Janet Greenwald turned their grief into action, writing and enacting three next-of-kin notification laws in two states, and creating Notify In Seven, a system of practical notification tools for hospitals.
