Allied Health Consults: Difference between revisions

Line 38:

* Decided to include consults in ER immediately prior to ward admission. Ttenbergen 15:59, 2012 November 1 (EDT)

** I agree with Judy. Just to let you know consults to physio and or occupational health can be filled out by a nurse /doctor /or allied health care service. Many patients who come to our wards are already recieving homecare which is cancelled and then has to be reviewed again to see if they require more treatments /adls at home. Do you want 1st timer to homecare services ? I have found out some services (Home care) are being delayed because information is not being relayed to them ie from ER They are not faxing the information to Home care and they are unaware that the pt needs follow up on the ward, until someone asks them what is happening? This just happened last week The pt wasnt seen for 7 days.

***Why would you not want the time/day of the consults, we are looking for the consult anyway, would you not want to know how long pt had been in prior to consult--[[User:PStein|PStein]] 09:32, 2012 November 5 (EST)
