Penultimate Physician Team Meeting, Thursday, Feb 3.

Second to last meeting eveyone and this one is mighty important because it will walk us all through the discharge process. Please make every effort to be there as we are nearing the end. We will be wrapping up soon and that's the last meeting, set probably for the week after...

 Its been a fun couple of months and we are nearing the end of the design phase of Sunrise Acute Care. As I have said before we only have tomorrow's meeting and one more and we're done. Tomorrow's meeting will be about the discharge procedure which is relevant to everyone. The goal is to show everyone how simple or difficult this is so that we all know what to expect. I'm hoping that the meeting tomorrow will be short but rest assured this is one of those things that is very important because just like admissions, everyone discharges and this is your chance to comment on it so that we can make the necessary changes to the process. I hope to see you all tomorrow and here is the powerpoint presentation so that you can see what we'll be addressing tomorrow.   You may also CLICK HERE, to review the slide deck.

Thank you all.

Best Regards,

Joseph
