WM Graduates have commenced in the Ambulance Offload role to support the timely offload of ambulance resources at the Sunshine Hospital Emergency Department. The WM Graduates will work within the high-risk, and low-risk emergency services offload areas, providing care for up to three patients each. The WM graduates will continue to work under the supervision of ED nursing and medical staff.
Please read the following QRG for full details:
QRG – SHED – Ambulance Offload – WM Graduates MOC
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the WM Graduate workforce who assisted in the successful implementation of Rapid Antigen Testing in the EDs. We look forward to supporting them with the addition of the Ambulance Offload role.
There has been a total of 220 studies ordered through the pathways since they were introduced two weeks ago. This equates to 220 less phone calls between radiology and ED! Of the 220 orders, 181 were completed successfully. A review of the 39 cancelled orders will be undertaken to look for opportunities to refine the process.
Initial feedback has been positive from both ED and radiology.
The QRG can be found here.
