Crayola is a brand of crayons and other writing utensils that is now a proud sponsor of in-hospital codes, now providing codes of a wide spectrum of colors[1], not just the standard bearers Code Blue[2][3][4][5] and Code Red.
Reminder to Health Care Providers
Remember: Do not write patients' prescriptions in crayon, no matter how fun it might look![6]
