Hi all,

if you are admitting a patient with a primary care NP to Bracebridge please ask…

Do they know what MD they are assigned too? ( all have been assigned to a MD and should have a card with that). This is not true of the patients at the NP led clinic in Huntsville as they are a different model of primary care ( L Lefebvre, A Kitchen, M and C Dove, A Erickson).

if that MD looks after inpatients then you may be admitting to that MD ( or the MD covering) instead of orphan MD.

if patient doesn’t know what MD they are rostered to then a phone call to the NP office may provide that.

In Huntsville ( with our inpatient system) this is not needed.

thanks
John

Hi everyone,
an MD couple may be able to do some locum work during march break.
If you are interested in giving up shifts that week please let me know!

They are interested in summer locum work too so if anyone planning to cut back or wants specific time off please consider voicing that now too!

Hi all,

Please start to use the electronic schedule for who to call when you need to speak to a radiologist.
There is a permananet link on the MAHC homepage (right hand bottom MAHC radiologist schedule).

So – just click on internet – get our homepage which is the default and then one click shows you who to call.

This is the most up to date radiologist list always!!
We have had a few calls ( and delayed return calls) recently due to not using the most up to date schedule.

If you can’t find just ask me and I will show you.

We will soon be getting rid of the paper schedules…SOON!…as they are impossible to keep up todate

Just like we use medevison as our most up to date schedule ..this is what the rads use and they have asked us to only use this schedule as the one you trust.

thanks
John

Just a reminder…

Any abdo CT please full out the surveys in each ER for Dr Roldan’s study…

Nov 12th bed and minimal furniture will get moved to sleep room ( quiet room)
expect that area closed nov 12 – dec 13 for carpet/paint/new shower enclosure.

thanks
