Tylenol Overdose

Hi all,

Attached is the NEW updated and simplified NAC protocol for Tylenol overdoses. Take a little read. I have asked our Nurse leaders at both ER’s to update our protocols too!!

SMMH Ultrasound

Please make an effort to use ( to test it!!) the Zonaire ultrasound in SMMH. It is supposed to be fully repaired and functional. The Sonosite has currently been removed as it is only a loaner . Let me know please by email or text when you have used in the next couple of weeks and that it is functioning ok or not ok!! Thanks John

Transfer of Care OPP to ER

Please take a moment to read this algorithm for transfer of care of patients brought in by OPP under the mental health act or with concerns of a mental health issue. You will see that if we are going to detain a patient under these circumstances we need to have the patient’s MD assessment and form one completed or at minimum an order for a FORM one on the chart.

dialysis patients admitted

If you are admitting any dialysis patient followed at OSMH nephrology want to be called with goal of admitting them at OSMH! Even peritoneal!
