New NVRH Transfer Guidelines - 12/04/10

EMS will be staging in the ED for all transports from inpatient units.  They will follow the following procedure

1)       They should be called when the patient is ready to go

2)       They will call the sending unit, from the ED to notify them of their arrival

3)       When the patient  AND paperwork are ready to go, the sending unit should call the ED , #7686, and let EMS know they are ready

4)      EMS will then proceed to sending unit

Calls should be made from the lounge phone to help decrease secretary involvement.  I will post the unit numbers beside the phone for easy access.  Thanks -Deb Bach, E.D Nurse Manager
