Direct admit from KASC awaiting inpatient Bed

ED Observation has agreed to occasionally house / board patients who are post-op from KASC and need to stay in the hospital, and have been accepted by a service in the hospital but their transfer to the hospital is delayed due to bed availability. 

If you are called by First Call to discuss such a patient, please check to see that you have available bed space, and confirm that the patient is hemodynamically stable and appropriate for the level of nursing care that can be provided in ED Obs. If yes, please authorize the transfer.  The patient will stay in ED obs only until a bed is available upstairs, and the accepting team will be responsible for all care. You are not expected to care for this patient, write notes, orders or otherwise provide any medical care except in the event of a code/rapid response.
