Good afternoon,
Due to high volume in the Main ED, a hold unit is opening up in the old 3rd floor Ortho PACU (HOTP, HOTR). Patients have already started moving up to this unit. There are up to 14 beds that can be utilized in this space. For now these patients are ED holds that will be admitted once a bed becomes available. Anticipating this same unit becoming an obs unit (ED G Pod) in the coming weeks, we are going to go ahead and adjust UB assignments.
The UB 7 will be assigned HOTP and HOTR patients Monday-Friday. The HH Main UB 7 PPM, Patient List, and PKS Dashboard have been updated. This includes order verification, PKS consults, and Sentri7s (excludes profile reviewing) for HOTP and HOTR patients. Based on current PPMs, these patients will also be in the HH Main T t Q, HH Main Midnights, and HH Main ALL no OPM for our evening positions. Refer to the deployment documents on formweb for full details.
For the weekends, order verification and consults will remain with the Central positions (T, t, te, Qw). Sentri7s have been tasked to the UB 4.
NSS has been assigned to the CCU position (CCUw on weekends).
Note: If you find yourself with a large volume of PKS consults, please reach out to the Clinical Specialist group or your fellow UB Counterparts for help.
Let me know if there are any questions. We will continue to assess the impact this unit has on workload as we move forward.
