Variables considered for each patient care area are: capacity, throughput, patient experience and patient acuity. A coordinated plan throughout the hospital will be activated when the placement of patients becomes delayed due to bed availability volume of admissions specific placement needs or the need to decompress the Emergency Care Center (ECC), PACU, Cath Lab, ICU or Radiology patient acuity EXCEPTIONS: DEFINITIONS: None ECC Pre-Code Lavender Alert: Initiated when ECC approaches maximum functional capacity of Internal ECC beds. ECC huddles with the for assessment purposes and department level actions taken to improve flow. The Logistics Center will send a situational alert to directors, clinical managers or designees of appropriate downstream units and support areas. House wide Code Lavender Alert: Alerts and initiates a collaborative approach that includes all patient care directors, administrative supervisors, Chief Nursing Officer, Chief Medical Officer, COO, and Integrated Case Management clinical supervisor that a significant house-wide patient flow problem exists that has not been corrected by department level mitigation efforts. Implemented when high census AND a sufficient number of discharges are not anticipated in the needed time frame or the number of patients awaiting placement exceeds the ability to meet the needs. 6/29/2018
2 2 of 12 Purple Alert: An alert called after the House-wide Code Lavender Alert has been activated and in place and a patient flow problem is still present. Patients are placed in any appropriate overflow bed that has been made available. Patients will not be placed in locations that would impair corridor access. Actions include mobilization of additional equipment, priority cleaning and transport. Over Capacity Situation where a house-wide alert is needed to decompress the ECC, Cath Lab, PACU, ICU or Radiology. Overfow Beds Additional beds that can be made functional by using strategic overflow areas. Decompress Alleviate high census in any area by opening additional beds to allow safe efficient patient flow. Patient Care Units Units delineated on Daily Census Worksheet as such (Med/Surg., Cardiac, Observation, and Critical Care) RTM- Patient is clinically Ready to Move in Teletracking system Targeted Unit - Unit notified by that they are likely to get a specific patient TBADM Acronym on ECC Status Board indicating to be admitted PROCEDURE: 1.

An ECC Pre- Lavender Alert may be initiated. 2. The Administrative Supervisor/Nursing Administration director (NAD) and/or the director actively assesses patient flow situation and notifies departments that discharges/transfers need to be expedited. 3.

3 3 of Patient care leadership will initiate an active assessment of the bed availability and staffing. The need for a STAT bed meeting is assessed and called by NAD/administrative supervisor and/or the director. All clinical managers/directors are asked for: potential discharges and any identified barriers to discharge staffing (current shift and following shift). 5. A plan of action is established to decompress flow restricted areas and move patients quickly. 6. After initiation of the House-wide Code Lavender Alert, all pertinent staff is alerted via various messaging systems in order to ensure that key staff and departments are actively supporting the Capacity Alert Plan. 7. If there is no improvement of the patient flow the administrative supervisor/nad and/or the director alerts all of Administration that a Purple Alert needs to be called. After discussion with CNO, CMO, COO, CEO a Purple Alert is called. This includes mobilizing any equipment needs (beds, overbed tables) priority cleaning bed assignments, and coordination of which patients are placed in purple beds as well as patient transport. 8. When a Purple Alert is called all staff assigned to units will return to the unit if elsewhere. Routine classes/meetings will be cancelled except for Nursing Orientation. During a Purple Alert staff may be assigned temporarily outside their unit once competency is assessed. 9. During a Purple Alert, staff with clinical expertise but not currently assigned to patient care, will report availability to the. 10.
