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.
