March 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Hi all,
Just wanted to make sure that you are aware you can use olis anytime from your cerner screen to see old labs for patients
done in any community lab ( actually I was just able to see labs from Sunnybrook ).
Make sure that your blue arrow is on the patient you want then click olis. Change your date selection as needed.

suture kits – feedback now !!
March 28, 2016 by 5 Comments
Hi everyone,
Many of you are aware we have been waiting several months for improvements in our suture supplies ( namely a better disposable kit or idealy autoclaved real equipment!!).
Kersti, Dave M, Pierre and myself are all very dissatisfied with the current kits and have expressed this to admin. With many delays and frustration building I need you all to way in…
Who is not happy with the current kits? Do you like the poor quality needle driver and forceps? or have no issue with it?
Please let me know asap and respond either way.
I have the four names on the list already as above in addition to Jen ( NP) and Bob (PA).
thanks
John

Referrals
March 15, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Happy March break….
two things…
1) please call all internists and surgeons to arrange urgent or semi-urgent care for patients ( in – town is what I am referring too) so they can help triage and plan when to see a patient. we have had a few referrals done ( example – asking for stress test with- in a week) and the specialist is actually gonna be away and can’t do that…. I have received direct feedback to pass on that a phone call to arrange these things is the way to go.
2) plastics in the LHIN still has holes in coverage as we all know!! No one is planning on getting more plastics yet…. A task force is still meeting around this…but no luck yet…
If not ” emergent” then I write referral and call myself or have Bob (HDMH) or Jennifer (SMMH) call the next day plastics on call…
If emergent…I have tried Southlake a couple times recent and they have been helpfull. In the past this has not been the case though.
Some docs are just packaging the patient and telling them to go an er that does have plastics given no one is on call in the LHIN. Jan has received feedback that this is not ideal and other ER’s ( OSMH and RVH) have complained about this.
I am just the messenger here….although not ideal I will always advocate for the patient and if that means doing this last option to get them care they need …so be it…I think as a group we try to make the best arrangement for the patient but when all else fails…we gotta get them care….
