Objectives
• Increased understanding of a safe method of intra-hospital transport for PCU patients utilizing the appropriate staff and equipment.
• Describe our process of sharing data with staff to hardwire an existing process.

Concerns• “ I am off the unit for hours at a time with a
stable patient, and I have to leave my other patients with a covering RN.”
• “I have all of my patients and all of his / her patients so I can’t possibly teak a break right now”
• “ I can’t be in two places at once.”

The Purpose• To ensure patients traveling to other
departments for testing and / or procedures are accompanied by the appropriate personnel and equipment.
• To decrease number of hand of off care reports throughout the day.
• To increase availability of critical equipment and personnel.

Conclusion• Successful implementation of a risk stratified
approach to patient safety with 100% compliance.
• Decreased the number of hand of off care reports throughout the day.
• Increased availability of critical equipment and personnel.
• Increased staff satisfaction while decreasing the need for additional FTEs.

Future Opportunities• Insulin drip patients
• Patients who have received thrombolytic therapy
• Educating new nurses
• Examining criteria
• Expanding to other units
