Subject: HH-Main PACU -ICU Conversion Today***
In order to accommodate the need for more ICU beds, 1st floor PACU is now converting half of their beds into a 24/7 ICU area
today. This was piloted back in April 2020, just for this scenario. These will be surgical patients requiring ICU (non-trauma). PACU beds HORR 1-17 will remain PACU beds. HORR 18-36 will be ICU. We expect the first patients to begin utilizing this area
today. Adjustment to responsibilities is as follows:
PACU (HORR 1-17)
- phone # 58111
- No change in workflow. The Q's continue to verify PACU orders.
ICU (HORR 18-36)
- phone # 44805
- UB3/UB8 will pick-up the verification responsibilities for HORR 18-36. PPM will be adjusted. (note: all HORR orders will show on PPM, just focus on beds 18-36)
- Z2 will pick-up 3NE consults
- D2 will pick-up HORR 18-36 consults
More info to come and please let me know of any issues you encounter!
