Check Out Presentation Example:
Mr. Smith is a 67 year old male with h/o diabetes, hypertension, and smoking with no past cardiac workup who presented complaining of chest pain that was relieved by nitroglycerin x 3. His labs, including cardiac biomarkers, are all normal and there are some lateral T wave changes on his EKG. He has received an aspirin. He will be admitted to the medicine team for further workup. I have already spoken to the admitting team. He is still chest pain free and there should be nothing else to do or check.”

Seeing Patients: You may see patients on either the North (back)
or South (front) section Feel free to bounce back and forth as needed Patients should be seen in the order the charts
are placed in the chart regardless of chief complaint (unless someone is critically ill)
Patients are triaged by their level of illness (1-5) Feel free to pick up sick patients (level 2), but if
you walk into a room and notice that someone appears ill, grab your attending or an upper level resident prior to performing a history and physical. The patient may require time-critical interventions!

Documentation: All documentation in the ED is done on pre-
made T-sheets. The T-sheets are listed by chief complaint and
are located just outside the front and back fish bowls.
If you cannot find a T-sheet that properly matches the complaint, a “General Medicine” T-sheet is available.
All portions of the T-sheet should be completed, including filling in labs and xray results.
Be sure to sign the T-sheet legibly. (Be sure your attending signs it too)

![Page 31: Welcome to the ED](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816580550346895dd81aa7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Presenting to the Attending
![Page 33: Welcome to the ED](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816580550346895dd81aa7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Presenting to the Attending:
If you see a patient that you are concerned about, let the attending know right away. If you can’t find an attending, notify an upper level for help until the attending is available.
Each attending has a different personality and different preferences. Talk with the upper levels when you arrive about tips for presenting to the attending for that day/night.
There are typically two attendings on each day. One takes the front section, the other takes the back. Present to the attending who is covering the section your patient is roomed in.

Helpful Hints for Sunrise: When you pick up a patient chart, place your
name in the resident box on the ED dashboard.
For lab orders, if you type “ed.superset” you will have a order set with many typical ED stat orders.
When you consult another service, type “ed.consults” and select the service.
Make sure all orders are STAT
