neurosurgery patients

Hi Gang,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am actively working on the a care plan for neurosurgery patients needing observation/admission…
We had two roadblocks ( in my opinion) to care last week in BB which has lead to many discussions since…..
I am polling a couple other hospitals in our LHIN to see how they handle things too…..
Stay tuned…

pps…the alarm in room 7 is finally on a switch!! Flip it on if you indeed have someone needing a negative pressure room. The negative rpessure fans are always on so this is just an alarm to say if door ajar and system not fully pressurized.
Be sure to tell Angela how this switch is saving your mental sanity!!!
