Re: Calling all DEDICATED Neo/Peds Teams!

["Andrew Berry" <ABerry@nets.org.au>]

All within the state of NSW and the ACT. That is 10 facilities; each with a neonatal ICUs and three of them with paediatric ICUs. 
We are not facility-based. None of the tertiary hospitals has a 'transport service'; having handed this responsibility over to us 6 years ago. This is a deliberate strategy to avoid the problem of competition or 'tension' between the needs & resource limitations of each tertiary facility and the needs of the patient in the referring hospital. Notwithstanding that separation, the process of activation connects the referring doctor with their preferred destination via a call to us. In effect, we operate a "clinical gateway" into the tertiary care system for paediatrics.
I would be interested in the results of your survey.

Thank you for your answers to our survey!  Valuable information.  If I could ask...what facility do you transport for?  I'll let you know how this all comes together!

Thanks again,
Amy
