Dear All!
We are currently trying to improve the care of the trauma patient in our
area (south western Sydney).
In that regard, we are focusing on the proces on trauma related
interhospital transfers.
Do you use any specific guidelines for your interhospital transfer crew?
How does the referring hospital decide what crew to send (Medical,
Paramedic, General duty ambulance)?
Do you use a checklist for the referring hospital to optimise the handling
of the transfer?
Do you call a "central" dispatch land line or straight to the retrievla
team?
Do you have any advice to give us?
Your help would be greatly appreciated as you have a lot of experience in
that field apparently!
Thank you
Pat Schoettker
