GST Expansion & NP’s to the Rescue!

We are expanding our beds at GST. This already started and should be completed by Friday. We are converting rooms 1, 4, 6 to twin-bed rooms with a curtain divider. Additionally, we are putting in 2 hall-beds as well. This will expand our ability to see patients and also allow for a 2nd midlevel to see patients as well. (I am still working on what this flow will look like).

I got approval (and guarantee) to extend daily (10a-10p) mid-level support at TSQ through March 31!

I got approval to create a “Scheduled Midlevel On-Call Schedule” in addition to the regular schedule, and this will be implemented by the end of the week. In addition to the currently scheduled providers, we are creating a set “Mid-level On-Call Schedule” where a specific mid-level will be on-call from 10a-10p each day, so if you need help at TSQ or GST, then you have a specific provider whom you can call to come in an help (instead of the mass-text I’ve been doing). This schedule will be posted here on the FED Newsletter Website. This will go a long way to helping out and have guaranteed support when we need it.
