Transport Tidbits: Introduction

Introducing a new bonus series: Transport Tidbits. Join members of our transport team at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center as they talk through various diagnoses in each episode. They will cover four things in each short episode: (1) an overview of the condition, (2) assessment of the condition and diagnostic tests, (3) priority interventions for this patient (including medications), and (4) the biggest risk for decompensation in this patient. They will also highlight pertinent questions for you, the inpatient bedside team, to ask when receiving handoff and admitting this patient from the transport team. In this first episode Calicia Patton, the transport shift coordinator, will give the behind the scenes of the transport team!
