Preliminary documentation info

As we are trying to find out what to collect, we found the following.

• I can't think of anything you have missed for HSC.--Jpeterson 08:36, 2017 January 18 (CST)

"ER Department - Request for Admission to Inpatient Unit" form

At HSC, Director of Medical Records states that there should be a white form on chart - ER Department - Request for Admission to Inpatient Unit. (Trish asked them to fax her copy). Hospitals using this:

• HSC
• VIC
• CON - has this form but is not a permanent part of the chart,it is tossed in confidential waste.
• SOGH

HSC Pink Sheets

HSC's pink sheet is only seen rarely. Usually I've only seen it for patients who came in for a same day procedure and then ended up needing to be admitted to medicine. We use the white sheet where the physician requests a bed for the patient. This time is usually the same time as the doctors orders.--CMarks 13:10, 2017 January 18 (CST)
