It is JLT’s highest priority to not disrupt the quality of care during any phase of the
relocation.
To facilitate this goal, each department will have a plan for placement of all
equipment and furniture to expedite the process for relocation and provide a
rapid resumption of department functions.
The patient move requires scheduling of patient care equipment, care plans for
specific patient conditions, coordination with medical staff and EMS providers,
and a relocation process that ensures a high standard of patient care.
Planning for dual hospital operations during the patient move, contingency
planning, and family coordination as patients are relocated is also included in
transition planning. An extensive inventory of templates is provided to help maintain the level of
patient care and operational efficiency throughout the move. Depending on the
organization, only a limitation on elective admissions and surgeries for a few
days prior to the patient move is needed.
