Morning all,
Please ROUTINELY ask the charge nurse ( or bed allocator if daytime) if the site you are working in has beds when you go to admit.
It will save you phone calls/work if you need to admit to the other hospital site due to beds/services.
This has been a factor this week with gridlock at HDMH.
Then call switchboard at the site you are admitting to and ask for the orphan doc. The orphan systems are quite different at both sites so swithcboard is our coordinator/fallback!!
