ED Muskoka Physicians - Living the Dream

Reactivate clinic

Dr Rich Trenholm would like to consider presenting or talking to our ed groups to tell him what his clinic has to offer for patients ( sports med consult with him or Dr Pierre Mikhail, chiro, massage, physio, etc).

I think many of us know what is at the clinic and that sports med related referrals can be ohip covered with a referral but I am just reaching out on his behalf to the group of there is interest in a discussion.

Let me know if you are interested. depending on interest then he will decide how to efficiently meet/discuss/plan)

Huntsville ER

Anyone upset if the fixed mount computer in the trauma room is removed as this has been suggested by nursing leadership?

Never gets used, taking up space and hope to use elsewhere!

A WOW gets pulled in whenever needed and is preferable to the nurses.

Just asking before pulled.

SMMH er shifts

Hi all,

Please send me an email confirming what shifts you picked up in July that qualified for the incentive . I need confirmation from each of you this applies too to try and get pay aug 15th from hospital and to let Liz Coombs know.

ALSO – last two shifts not covered in august in SMMH aug 25th and aug 26th nights!! If night doesn’t worked for you then we can try and swap things around!! Both qualify for the $500 incentive per shift too of coarse!!

I have talked to many, many locus about these and no luck so far…

ectas

If you have a concern with a etas level then please send the mrn, initials and visit day to carmen.shakespeare@mahc.ca or scan the facesheet to her . She has taken Leslie Secords role and is actively looking at how we can use/modify/educate around ectas to make cats levels more in line with what is practical for the patient.

The nurses or us can send information to Carmen so please don’t just complain about the ctas levels try and do something about it.

Open Shifts SMMH

For regular shifts ( day, evening, nights) that are still open in July and August there is now a $500 incentive per shift available ( $400 from hospital and $100 from group). This is not available currently for the 13-19 shift.

Please let me know what you pick up of these shifts and we can log this to ensure you get paid.

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.
