Nursing
  • Standard Blood Administration and Collection Process in ED - (Handout) In the ED, blood transfusion documentation can be completed in the ED Narrator. The blood product transfusion workflow includes collecting the specimen, releasing the dispense order, documenting the administration and reviewing the data in a report. A critical feature of this process is the barcode scanning of the patient, blood specimen, and blood product.
  • Adding a New Level of Care Order - (Handout) When Indicia recommends a different Level of Care than the one specified in the provider’s Admission Bed Request order, Nurse Navigators (and others managing these situations) should follow this workflow to place a new LOC order.
  • Beaker Lab Collection - ED - (Handout) The workflows for Beaker Lab Collection in the Emergence Department are reviewed.
  • Creating a Learning Assessment - (Handout) A learning assessment is completed on the Assessment tab to document the patient's language, any barriers to learning, and learning preferences.
  • Nursing Protocol Order Sets for ED Nurses - (Handout) Use Protocol Order Sets to quickly enter orders for the ED Nursing protocols. These order sets also allow you to easily jump to the policy on the protocols they reference.
  • Standard Bed Hold Process - (Handout) To facilitate communication between staff, nursing and registration staff may place a Bed Hold to identify when a specific bed is being held for a specific patient. This can be done through the ED Manager or the ED Track Board.
  • Transfer of Medical Control for Patient Boarding in the ED - (Handout) Sometimes patients in the ED are ready to be admitted to the floor but a room is not available. In these cases, ED providers can transfer medical care to the inpatient care team via Transfer Medical Control order. Once medical control has been transferred, these patients are considered ED boarded patients and will stay in the ED until a room on the floor is available.
  • Transfer Medical Control to Inpatient Teams & Releasing Signed & Held Orders (Nursing Workflow) - (Handout) The Transfer Medical Control order is used by Inpatient Provider teams to indicate they will assume care of a patient boarding in the Emergency Department. Once the order is placed, the ED Nurse is responsible for releasing the new orders.
