Good Afternoon all,
We are currently looking at our bed management policies. In particular placement of patients transferred from another facility. Does any one have a risk flowchart, admission flowchart etc they would be willing to share. We have concerns re whether the patient should be isolated etc.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi Andrea,
In our facility any patient identified as being in another facility for greater than 48 hours in the preceding six months automatically gets a private room and has MRSA swabs attended. Depending on the facility they have been in and the level of care they received they may also have additional MRO testing done.
If there are not enough single rooms to accommodate them then a risk assessment is performed to identify those patients who are less at risk for going into a shared room – looking at their admission diagnosis, skin integrity, which facility they have come from etc. This also takes into account the risk factors of the patient that they will share with and if they have lines, drains, wounds etc.
I have a flow chart I would be happy to share with you.
Kind regards,Fiona De Sousa
