Hi all,

You should have all received an email from either Sara or Nancy yesterday regarding a process change that has gone live today.

The attending doc section is now gonna be blank on ED charts!

Please write your name on each patient chart you see so charts are properly assigned to you.

This will cut down results going tot he wrong docs and negate the need to change MDS assigned to patients charts at shift change. It should help all so please remember to write your name!!

ED directives and orders done by Bob will still have to be entered under a doc so this will be done with the “most likely doc to see” but won’t be perfect around shift change or if more than one doc in the department (back-up etc)…

However..this is one way to improve patient info flow and maintain confidentiality!!

any issues please email, text or call me

FYI: Urgent PEDS mental health clinic functioning at RVH and available to all in our LHIN !!
Use as need.

RVH approved for acute peds mental health beds (inpatient) should be open near start of 2018. Construction underway and staffing gearing up now. Just FYI

Feedback again to all…

Please make a formal diagnosis at time of discharge and write it on the chart.

Our coders are struggling.

MVC as the only diagnosis is not enough. MSK is not enough.

I have asked them if they can’t figure out what the discharge diagnosis is to send the chart to your mailbox.

thanks all!!

Morning all,

Dr Bruce did agree to start looking after any patients admitted that he has met and accepted to his practice.
He needs to have met them and accepted them. Being on his list or having called to meet him is not enough.

You can direct patients needing a primary care practitioner to the Algonquin family Health team number and they will register with direct them to Dr Brule ( or others when he is full).
I have directed a few direct to his office and that is okay too.

One number is probably easier to hand out though. Algonquin family Health team 705-787-0846

cheers
John
