In the above statement "''WRHA non-Medicine" ''category whereby the units listed are considered lower levels of care than regular medicine units surgery is included. I suggest transfers to cardiology units are also not transfers to a lower level of care. Does the level of care hierarchy need to be reviewed and updated? '' }} | ||
