INFLUENZA? HOW MUCH? READ THIS ALERT FROM A HOSPITAL PRESIDENT!

INFLUENZA?  HOW MUCH?
READ THIS ALERT FROM A HOSPITAL PRESIDENT!
                                                                                                                                                           "JAN 10, 2013
The surge of influenza is affecting our bed status. I need your help ensuring our ill patients can get cared for appropriately.
Please:
1) Discharge as soon as possible any patients able to receive ongoing care at home or a skilled nursing facility.
2) Take patients off cardiac monitoring as soon as you recognize it is no longer needed.

Thank you."
