HDMH Backup sign in Binder

Hi all –

As discussed at our HDMH ER group meeting, I have created a binder with ‘sign-in’ sheets in order to help us document our back-up calls.  It is a white binder, clearly labelled, located on the shelf behind the ‘captain’s chair’ .  When you are called in on back-up, please remember to grab this binder and sign in. It should be fairly self-explanatory (name, date, time, reason for call-in i.e. how many patients waiting). The more we remember to do this the better our data will be!

This should help us defend our back-up usage if god-forbid the ministry ever tries to claw back our funding, and it may be able to help us identify some trends about our high-needs times.

If the Bracebridge group is interested in doing something similar let me know.
