PostOperative Orders
According to JCAHO, post operative (post PACU) orders to floor must be placed by the surgical team. Under no circumstances is the internal medicine team to place admission orders to the floor. This issue is included in the subspecilaty guidelines (#3) that was approved by the medical executive comission on 9/2/14
The PACU staff and surgical department has been educated regarding this matter. If the PACU calls you to place post operative transfer order to the wards, please direct them to the surgery attending, resident, or NP/PA to complete the orders. Your responsibility is to add to the medicine related orders.
Senior Resident Notes
Dr. Ragland is actively working with Dr. Johnson on revising senior resident notes at this time. This includes minimizing the senior note to containing a brief and focused assessment and plan without the physical exam or HPI. Again, these are preliminary approaches and there will "beta" testing among several rotations before these goes live.
