- Client will cover hotel for the first night the provider

street. Morning Rounds
- Hospitalists typically begin morning rounds between 7:00am and
8:00am (facility dependent) Informal Evening Rounds
- Informal evening rounds are a great way to make yourself
available and preempt issues before turning in. By interacting with
ED staff and nursing staff between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm, you might
save yourself some work - and a 2:00 am wake up call - which will
help ensure you get the rest you need! Admissions
- ED skillsets vary, and considering the limitations posed by
rural settings, we want to ensure that we avoid admitting patients
only to have them immediately transferred once you've had the
opportunity to evaluate them.
- While we encourage the use of transition orders overnight and
during busy clinical times during the day in order to augment ED
throughput, we want to ensure you're in the ED evaluating patients
as much as possible. Overnight Admissions
- Between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am, transition orders will be used to
admit patients. Transition orders are written by the ED physicians
to facilitate admission and prevent you from having to enter the
order yourself. Overnight admissions should be rounded on the
following morning after ICU patients. Note: all high acuity level
ICU patients require immediate bedside evaluation at the time of
admission, regardless of time of day. Rounding on overnight
admissions enables you to: Discharges
- You should know which patients are awaiting discharges when
rounds begin. These patients should be identified in the
interdisciplinary team meetings from the preceding day, and case
management should have all needs addressed in preparation for
discharge.
- The patients are told the preceding day that they'll be
discharged as well, so they will be anticipating seeing the
provider early and being out of the hospital by noon if
possible.
- Prioritizing discharges is intentional so the nursing staff can
get all their paperwork completed for the patient, the patient can
physically leave, and EVS can do a terminal clean on the room
preparing for another patient to be admitted from the ED in the
afternoon when admissions begin to come in.
