Form One intake

Please be aware that you do not have to wait for a CMH assessment to send the package for admission consideration for a form one patient to OSMH!! Attached is OSMH intake form!! Of coarse if you feel that a CMH assessment may help create a safety plan or that CMH may very well come up with a plan to care for the patient out of hospital then I would certainly indicate this on sending the intake package or wait for CMH….

Airway boxes

Please look at the example of the airway boxes in both ER’s and provide me any feedback you have within the next week. These are going to be on each crash cart,one in each ICU , and one for transfers and looked after by RT’s. They aren’t meant to take the place of our full carts but provide a basic set of standard things that are at hand/available throughout the hospital. AND THAT ARE THE SAME EACH SITE AND PLACE! Thanks!

Bracebridge Walk-in Changes

Just an FYI that the Rexall walk-in clinic in Bracebridge has changed their policies. They are strongly encouraging patients who are already rostered to other doctors to see their own physician. They will not refuse to see them, but are putting up some resistance to it. They will continue to see patients who are NOT rostered, as a walk-in service.
