Admission of Patients from ED to RICU and CCU
In cases where the patient requires a unit bed but none is immediately available, the case will be called into the Bed Board as an RICU or CCU admission but will be assigned to the medical team next up for an admission.
BedBoard Admit Policy Addendum
Since the implementation of Teletracking, all admissions are communicated to Bed Board using the HMED – Teletracking interface. In the event of a system downtime we will revert to calling.
