1. ANY admission needs to be on the Sign Out Board, regardless of bed status.
(beds come and go, so we can never be sure a bed will stay available).
2. The Sign Out Sheet should be filled out as complete as possible, but not
everything on it needs to be filled out, only what you believe to be pertinent. The
items on the sheet are there to jog your memory and to assist you in giving a good
sign out to the oncoming doctor. Again, be as complete as possible.
We will be holding more patients in the ED in the coming months as the flu season
hits and we sort out hospital flow problems. We have had as many as ten boarding
patients, and boarding times have been over 24 hours, crossing 3-4 shifts and 3-4
different physicians. Because of all the above, we have adopted a suggestion for a
sign out board. It's a great idea and one whose time is overdue. That's why we are
doing this.
5. Location of the Sign Out Board is on/near the orders sheet rack between where
the physicians sit.
