I hope you have involved the PCT commissioners and the Ambulance Services in
your decisions, if they have not been funded for additional transfers under
an SLA they will not be impressed and has the potential to affect their
performance targets

Subject: Assessment tool for transfer of medical patients
Does anyone have an ED assessment tool for flagging up which patients are
suitable for an inter-hospital transfer?
We at North Bristol are 19 days from changing one ED into an MIU, and our
medical colleagues have identified the fact they don't have enough beds on
one site to accomodate the increase intake! So they have decided to try and
see if they can transfer stable patients from one hospital to another
(Frenchay to Southmead) if they come from the Southmead area. One point at
which the transfer could be intiated would be at the point of entry to the
ED, so rather than re-inventing the wheel I was wondering if anyone has a
rapid check list which would make this process easier.
Feel free to contact off list!
Thanks
