7. Please Consider…
RN should submit this form to request IVT when in house- no need to text IVT or submit requests for IVT assistance through the MR
IF MR does get the paper IVT request from a nurse she should submit request via this form if they are in house
RN can enter a note in the dashboard to communicate to IVT if pt has to leave the floor after a request is entered before completed.
RN should partner with the IVT by removing entries from IVT Dashboard that are no longer needed
System Support Staff will provide 24/7 onsite support in both VUH & VCH.
If you have questions or need assistance:
