How many staff transport the patient? 2 staff
Who transfers the patient? 2 unit aides that work in PACU exclusively
Are there different policies for transfer to Same Day Surgery units (following GA) than for in patient units? Generally no, the pts must meet d/c criteria. An RN attends transfers for monitored pts and paeds.
How is transfer of care report given? By phone, unless ICU/step down/or paeds pt
If the nurse does not transfer the patient, are there specific criteria that must be met prior to transport by non-professional? Must meet d/c criteria, bromage score of 0, pain and nausea controlled.
Any comments/suggestions wil be appreciated.
Thanks,
Daphne
