Daily ward Admit/transfer/discharge ward Binder
- The standard Admission / Transfer / Discharge ward Log Binder that is used and found at the main desk.Some wards write in the details other use a paper label stamped with the addressograph
- The ward also has a scribbler that usually has the names of patients admitted,discharged,transferred and moved.
- The data collector reviews the Admission Binder on each ward, assigns a serial number and enters the minimal data base for all new admissions.
- The admission and discharge "times" are entered as per the Admission binder. Times are corrected once the chart is reviewed.
Information for HSC A4
See HSC A4 for contact info and ward description.
- If the Discharge Planning Screening Tool is not found in the chart for a new admission, it will usually be on a clip-board hanging by the door next to the med room (about half-way down the wall). This is done as a reminder for the ward clerk to fax consults on the new admissions first thing in the morning. Once faxed, the tool will be filed back into the chart.--CMarks 10:37, 2013 December 4 (CST)
