ED Admission 1 ED Physician places Admit from ED order.

2 The patient name appears on the Transfer List, with the Comments from the Admit order.

Note: The ED PAS can click the Comment field to add other useful information to the Task List comments.

3 HNS negotiates a bed with receiving Charge Nurse.

4 HNS plans the bed in Capacity Management by dragging and dropping the patient name to the selected room. It is possible in Capacity Management to plan to an available, dirty or occupied bed.

5 ED Charge/RN views bed assignment on FirstNet tracking board, along with bed status, and

negotiates transfer time.

Note: Available status means that the room is ready, not that the floor is ready to accept the patient.

6 Case Management (days) or HNS (night) enters Patient Status Recommendation order.

7 ED Provider signs Admit to Inpatient or Observation order (putting the patient in an ED Pending bed location).

Note: The order is required to complete the transfer in Capacity Management. If no order is entered, use the Location Check-In PM conversation.

8 At time of transfer, ED PAS completes the transfer, which removes the patient from the Transfer List, places the patient in the Receiving unit and removes them from the FirstNet Tracking Board.

Action - Open Capacity Management, click in leftmost column next to patient name to select patient, select Transfer, then select Complete Transfer.

ED-IP The ED patient who will become an admission, but is not leaving the ED, will have the following process:

1 ED Provider signs Admit to Inpatient or Observation order, putting the patient in an ED Pending bed location on the Transfer List.

2 At time of transition to Inpatient Providers, ED PAS to transition into ED-IP status using link shown below (Location Check-In.)

Note: Acuity color on tracking board will not be lost.

Patient remains on the ED tracking board, is in the ED-S location in Capacity Management, in the ED bed assigned, and is on the Transfer List.

Because they are in need of an inpatient bed, the patient will remain on the Transfer List until an inpatient bed placement is found or discharge occurs.

3 If the ED-IP patient moves to a different room within the ED, do the following to ensure that the patient remains on the tracking board and on the appropriate patient list for the provider:

• Move the patient to the new room in FirstNet using location. This will change the patient location in the banner bar back to ED-M.

• Go back to the Location Check-in conversation (compass icon on the FirstNet toolbar) and update the patient to the new ED-IP room/bed.

It is important to follow these steps in this sequence.

4 Admission - If patient eventually gets an inpatient bed, patient is already on the Transfer List, HNS will plan the bed. ED PAS will complete the transfer as usual when the patient leaves the department.

Completion of the transfer will not remove the patient from the ED tracking board. ED PAS will move patient to Checkout location in FirstNet. The name will appear in Checkout only briefly (no action is required).

5 Discharge - If the patient is discharged, use the Depart on the toolbar, NOT the

quicklink on the Tracking Board to discharge the patient. They will need to be removed from the tracking board by placing into Checkout when the patient leaves. The name will appear in Checkout only briefly (no action is required).

6 In Capacity Management, switch the ED-IP room from dirty to available.

ED Patient Moved to Receiving Unit in Error If a Capacity Management patient transfer from ED Pending Bed to the Unit was completed too early, the PM conversation Cancel Transfer will put the patient back to the ED Pending Bed location.

Note: No additional Capacity Management cleanup is needed. When a Cancel Transfer is used, the bed status will flip back to Available and no clean job is generated.

First, Cancel Transfer:

• Within Capacity Management on the Bed Board view, dropdown the options from the PM conversation launcher and select Cancel Transfer.

• Search for and select the encounter you need to return to the ED Pending Bed location.

• Complete the conversation (this should put the patient back into ED Pending Bed)

• Confirm the patient is back in the ED Pending Bed location

Note: On the Tracking Board, the Rm will now show the unit room they are returning from and the FN room due to the cancel transfer

How to Correct an Inpatient Transfer Completed in Error If a patient on the Transfer List erroneously has been completed, the patient is placed in the destination bed, and is removed from the Transfer List. There are two ways this could be corrected. Only one of the two options listed below needs to be completed. Please note, previously saved comments and the bed they were planned to will be lost upon transfer completion. In either option, prior to correcting, make note of the unit and bed they were transferred to so you can plan them back to the same spot.

If you do not know what patient you accidentally completed, it is possible to find the patient through the Explorer menu:

1 Go to Explorer menu on toolbar

2 Select Main Menu.

3 Select Census/ADT

4 Select Inpatient Transfer Report

5 Set filters to today

6 Find patient and room based on time of transfer

To correct the erroneous transfer, use one of these two options:

Option #1:

1 Write down the unit/room the patient was transferred to.

2 Transfer the patient back to the original bed per normal transfer process.

3 Clean up steps post transfer back into correct unit/bed: • Cancel EVS clean job for original room the patient was transferred from. • Cancel the EVS clean job for the room the patient was transferred to. • Change bed status from Dirty to Available for the room the patient was transferred to

erroneously. • Add the patient back to the Transfer List and plan the patient back to the unit/room they

were originally planned to (this will be the unit/room you just removed them from).

Option #2:

1 Open the PM Cancel Transfer Conversation

2 Find the patient on the Bed Board or the Patient list and click on the patient. (Note the unit/room they were erroneously transferred to)

3 Click on the PM conversation icon and select Cancel Transfer.

4 Enter the patient name into the search window and select the active encounter. Complete to place the patient into the original unit/room.

2 Patient will display on the Discharge list with a status of Requested. Once the Discharge orders

are written by the provider. A green dot is added to the house icon and the status changes to Started.

Direct Admits There are a variety of ways that patients get directly admitted into a bed in the hospital.

Unit UOC – Continue to utilize the paper process currently in use to communicate anticipated admits.

1 First, check the Transfer List. If you see your patient with a bed planned, complete the transfer in Capacity Management when patient arrives. No need to do location check in, admitting can complete the registration if needed. If the patient is on the Transfer List, and is registered or has a location check-in before completing the transfer, they will appear in the Bed Board as the patient in the room and the patient planned to the room, and they will be on the Transfer List as well. To fix this: Follow the steps for cancelling a transfer request.

2 If the patient is not on the Transfer List, go to the Pre-Admit List. Find the patient:

• Be sure that you are set for “Today”.

• Look for the patient under the Current Location (where they are coming from) Destination (your unit) or Planned Admits.

• If you do not find them, try alphabetizing the patient name list by clicking on the header for that column selecting descending, then looking for the patient name.

Once you find the patient on the pre-admit list, do a location check-in or have admitting complete the registration. This will put them in the bed on your unit in Capacity Management.

3 If you still cannot find the patient, try the following:

• Check your filters – you may have filtered out their location or are on the wrong day.

• Check the Bed Board for your unit – they may have been to registration and are already placed in the bed.

• Go to the Patient List, and do a Global Search. This method will only find active encounters – i.e. patients coming from PACU or a clinic and are checked-in. If they are in clinic with an active encounter see #4.

• Call the HNS for assistance.

4 If the patient has a clinic visit, followed by a planned admission, complete location check-in while the encounter is in the clinic location. This places the patient in the bed on the Bed Board.

Note: IC quick reg patients will be placed directly in the room and will not have steps in Capacity, but NICU is cautioned to check for a pre-reg under the mother’s name to avoid duplicate patients.

PACU Process for Expected Admissions Note: HNS to continue current paper process of planning for expected surgical admissions.

1 Patient appears on the PreAdmit List as a result of pre-registration.

2 Filter PreAdmit list for Today and Location if desired.

3 When patient arrives, the OR UOC will check in the appointment and activate the encounter. This can be done in Capacity Management by selecting the patient then clicking on

.

When the check-in is completed, the patient falls off the PreAdmit List.

4 As soon as the child is checked in, UOC will place all AM admit and Obs patients on the Transfer List.

Action -

• From the Patient List, use to find patient. When patient has appeared on the Patient List, click on the left-most column beside the name, and select Transfer, then Transfer Patient. Patient now appears on the Transfer List.

• HNS will plan a bed by dragging name to chosen bed.

• PACU RN will find the targeted room on the Transfer List and call receiving unit.

• Receiving unit UOC completes the transfer when the patient arrives. Open Capacity management, click in leftmost column next to patient name to select patient, select Transfer, then select Complete Transfer.

• For unexpected admissions, the UOC places patient on the Transfer List using this process, then calls the HNS. If there is no Capacity Management-trained UOC or Charge in the OR on off hours, the HNS will assist.

Holding a Room Patient needs to leave unit for a procedure, but will be returning to their room. For example, a patient is going to SPS for a sedated spinal tap, or a patient going to PICU for a chest tube, then will return to the original room.

Note: if an inpatient is going to OR and returning to the same room, there are no actions in Capacity Management.

1 Sending Unit Charge or UOC will use transfer process for placing patient on the Transfer List and planning to a bed.

Prioritize Next Discharge Room to be Cleaned

The Charge or UOC may select the next room to be cleaned on their unit. This could be in preparation for an expected admission. Normally, dirty rooms will flow to the EVS associate in the order that they were vacated. To change that order, go to the Custodial Services List, find the room to prioritize, right-click on the priority of Routine and select Next.

Note: There can only be one Next at a time per unit

This action will allow the EVS associate to finish the job they are currently working on, but will be the next job that appears on their device.

If you need a room cleaned emergently, the Charge Nurse must call the HNS. Only the HNS can prioritize a STAT clean. Typically, a STAT clean is only for an unstable patient urgently needing a bed.
