Hey all,

Here is the link for the Trauma little video I just emailed out as it seems to not work for some.

Quick – easy – share as you want!

I emailed the link the friends at several other hospitals for fun..

KING vision

Hi all,

FINALLY…FINALLY
after over a year of negotiation.

We have final approval to order the KING VISION ( “a” blade system with ET tube track, along with paediatric adaptor and peds blades). I think the KING vision peds addition will be a great replacement for the airtrac peds as they expire.

Does anyone feel strongly we need to trial them before we just buy them for both ER”S??
Admin wants me to ask this question.

If anyone wants the full story from me just text or call me. If anyone feels strongly that this is something we don’t need or want ( and need to trial before buying) then let me know.
No response means you are ok with each department getting this and will consider using it!!

Results/Contacts

Please ensure you follow-up all your results in a timely manner.
If you are away find someone else to check your mail for you.

Try to verify contact info too for patients as you can and ensure that staff verify the personnel information if you see the “personal information sheet not verified” on the chart!!

We have had to send police to find patients a couple times recent! And many people are still dealing with a sentinel case (from 2015) that patient was never contacted about their positive blood culture and died!
If you can’t contact the patient to give them results ( for some reason) and need help to guide/support …call me and I will help direct you.

Tie it up – feedback

6.0 absorbable and non – absorbable is the vote by the majority!

Both stay!
thanks for the feedback

Tie it up results!

Hi all,
overwhelming majority want 6.0 absorbable and non – absorbable !
Both stay!
thanks for all the feedback!!

admits SMMH internal med

Please document on all admissions who MRP is when admitting to internal medicine.

Dr Moran is declining calls by ICU and ER staff saying he is not MRP despite the ED doc having handed over the patient.

Please if you admit someone and wait till the am to call the internist ( or any mrp) please close the loop and advise nursing to document the MRP informed ( or write it on the chart).

I was asked to spread this word by the chair of internal medicine
thanks
