An outpatient endoscopy/ambulatory surgery nurse lacks clear guidelines and equipment for safely transferring unstable patients to a nearby ER without EMS, creating patient safety and legal risks.
No written protocol exists for determining when to call 911 versus accompanying a patient on foot, and the nurse has no equipment, monitoring, or direct handoff process, making the transfer indistinguishable from patient self-transport.
SafeTransfer Pathways
SafeTransfer Pathways provides a digital protocol builder and real-time decision support tool for outpatient facilities to define, communicate, and enforce safe patient transfer policies. It guides staff through a standardized assessment to determine if a patient is stable enough for non-EMS transfer and generates checklists for required equipment and handoff procedures. The app also logs each transfer for compliance and quality improvement.
- Customizable protocol builder for transfer policies based on facility location and resources
- Patient stability assessment tool with decision support
- Equipment and handoff checklist generation for non-EMS transfers
- Transfer log with audit trail for compliance and review
