The Wisconsin Poison Center is staffed by medical and clinical toxicologists who play a crucial role in supporting health care providers across the state by offering expert toxicology consultations, which can help improve patient outcomes. According to research published in 2022, by collaborating with the Poison Center, health care professionals can reduce length of hospital stays as well as lower hospital charges for some patients.
Each year, approximately 25-30% of call volume at the Wisconsin Poison Center comes from health care providers who have questions about managing poisoned or potentially poisoned patients. Many of these providers are a part of the Wisconsin Poison Center Hospital Membership Program, which ensures seamless access to expert guidance.
If you are a Wisconsin provider, we encourage you to consult the Poison Center next time you manage a poisoned patient. If you are seeking additional toxicology resources or training documents, please contact us. Together we can enhance patient care and safety throughout the state.
The Wisconsin Poison Center also has poison prevention curriculum and educational brochures available to help improve patient care and education. To order these items, please visit our ordering website or click the links below.
