Description of Duties:

Hospitalists are on call as surgical assist from Friday 8:00 to the following Friday at 8:00 for non-elective surgeries (this is optional)
Hospitalists cover the Continuing Care Unit from 17:00 Friday until 08:00 Monday morning; these patients are covered by local family physicians through the week
Hospitalists are responsible for admissions from 8:00 until 17:00. Admissions in the evenings are typically covered by the emergency physician on call.
Hospitalist admissions typically range from 10-20 patients a week
Typical census is between 25-28 patients (10-15 of these are generally ALC)
Acuity of special care unit (SCU) patients range from short-term telemetry monitoring to mechanical ventilation
SCU patients requiring intubation are typically transferred to Health Sciences North in Sudbury, Ontario after stabilization
Role of Hospitalist
In-patient coverage for the Active Care Unit is to be covered by a Hospitalist physician (with the exception of patients of Dr. Cheung - GP/A, Dr. Dan Boucher -Internist) on a weekly basis. The hospitalist will be scheduled for a one-week rotation, from Friday to Friday. The handover will take place on Thursday evening, but the on-call hospitalist will continue to cover until Friday morning.
At the beginning of each hospitalist week, the new physician will take verbal handover from the previous hospitalist on all patients and will handover to the next hospitalist at the end of the week. We strongly encourage locums to write transfer notes for the next hospitalist in Medi tech. This can efficiently be done by cutting and pasting pertinent information from previous notes. This will serve as a helpful handover tool/reference for the next incoming hospitalist. Discharge summaries are required for all patients and should be completed on the day of discharge.
The hospitalist will be required to provide 24-hour Hospitalist care for all existing and new admitted patients. They will work together with the Active Care staff and with the Multidisciplinary team towards discharge or other disposition of the patients. In the event that a patient is transferred to the Continuing Care Unit, their care will be transferred to Dr. Plamondon, unless they are existing patients of Dr. Cheung. A verbal handover must be provided to Dr. Plamondon before transfer of care is accepted. On occasion, Dr. Plamondon may request weekend or vacation coverage for these patients by the Hospitalist.
The hospitalist will participate in Multi-Disciplinary rounds every weekday at the designated time.
The hospitalist will assess and admit all new patients, after the ER physician has assessed them. During the day (8:00 – 17:00), the hospitalist will assess and admit patients in the ER and do the admission history and physical. During evenings and overnight (17:00 – 8:00), the ER physician will write admission orders and cover the patient until the following morning, at which time the ER physician will provide a verbal handover on the newly admitted patients to the hospitalist. The hospitalist will then do the admission history and physical.
