  • MTU IM Orientation
    Junior Resident Medical Teaching Unit Orientation Document Foothills Medical Centre Peter Lougheed Centre Rockyview General Hospital South Health Campus Welcome to the Medical Teaching Unit (MTU) at the University of Calgary! You will receive a brief orientation on your first day depending on which site you are assigned to, but this is a detailed overview of the locations, schedules and expectations of the MTU. MTU is first and foremost a teaching unit. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team with various levels and areas of training. Formal teaching is scheduled at each site as per the schedule below. MTU patients are typically academically interesting, complex or too unstable for other services. Sometimes they are all three! Remember that your two priorities on the MTU are patient care and your education. Have fun! Last updated September 2016 A TYPICAL DAY ON THE MTU: Morning • Handover: Meet at 8 am sharp in the designated team rooms (see site specific section). Here you will meet your team, receive patient handover. • Print out a single spaced patient list and write the clerk / resident assigned for the day next to the patient name. Provide this list to the Unit Clerk (FMC Unit 36/PLC Unit 38/RGH Unit 93/SHC Unit 66). • Morning Report: site dependant • Review Admissions: Meet with your staff to review overnight admissions • See your patients: See patients in order from sickest >> those needing discharge >> least sick. Afternoon • Lunchtime Rounds: (site specific) • “Run the List” - Meet with your team in the afternoon to discuss the patient list (depending on the senior resident/staff, generally 2-3pm) • Follow up on any outstanding issues from the morning • Update Signout Tool: Update the electronic Sign-Out in SCM • Evening Handover: Meet the evening / overnight team at 5 pm for patient handover Teaching (Site Specific) • Educational Rounds are a strong tradition within the culture of MTU.

  • APL Memo- Calgary Zone Outpatient Lab Closures in Acute Sites
    MEMORANDUM DATE: April 15, 2020 TO: All Calgary Zone Clinical Trial and Research Study Teams FROM: Alberta Precision Laboratories RE: Urban Hospital Outpatient Labs KEY MESSAGES: Effective Thursday, April 16 the outpatient labs located at Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH), Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC), Rockyview General Hospital (RGH) and South Health Campus (SHC) will be closed. Patients will be re-directed to community Patient Service Centres. Staff will be deployed as appropriate. The safety of vulnerable patient populations and staff in the urban hospitals is a priority as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Closing outpatient laboratory collections within urban acute care sites will reduce the number of individuals entering these facilities, limiting the risk of COVID-19 transmission. An APL memo was distributed on March 25th, 2020 strongly recommending physicians cease ordering routine or non- essential lab work. This has already reduced volumes of patients attending outpatient collection locations. The postponement of elective surgery combined with the closure of most ambulatory clinics has already resulted in a decreased need for outpatient lab service. Re-directing lab collections for ambulatory and outpatients to community PSCs will limit traffic into acute care sites and allow for more appropriate physical distancing. ACTION REQUIRED AND COLLECTION PROCESS: Patients who continue to attend remaining ambulatory clinics at the hospital will have their urgent laboratory blood work collected by the onsite phlebotomy team. Tom Baker Cancer Centre patients will continue to receive service in the Special Services Building (SSB) outpatient lab at Foothills Medical Center (FMC) which will remain open. Clinical Trial and Research Study Patients who require KIT/ Research collections originally collected from an Urban Hospital Outpatient Lab will be redirected to go to the SSB Outpatient Lab located at the FMC.

  • Changes to Operating Hours at South Health Campus YMCA
    Frequently Asked Questions _______________________________________ Changes to Operating Hours at South Health Campus YMCA What changes are being made? Effective January 14, 2019, the operating hours of the South Health Campus will change to the following: Monday – Friday 5.30 am – 9:00 pm Weekends & Holidays 7:00 am – 5.30 pm * Workout areas will continue to close 30 minutes prior to closing hours Why are the hours changing? We have reviewed current usage patterns at South Health Campus YMCA and have determined that early mornings remain a popular workout time. However, late evening usage is limited. The new Brookfield YMCA at Seton (opening January 14, 2019) will offer additional amenities, programs and services not offered at the South Health Campus YMCA. To balance this and the limited late evening usage at South Health Campus YMCA, we believe we will be able to more efficiently serve the community at the Brookfield Residential YMCA in the late evenings. How does this impact AHS Staff who are YMCA Members? Alberta Health Services staff will continue to have 24hr access to the workout areas at the South Health Campus YMCA. However, after regular operational hours (identified above), the facility will not be staffed by the YMCA. Protective Services will continue to provide emergency support after hours. AHS staff who wish to have 24hr access should contact the YMCA Member Services team to schedule an orientation and set up card access. How does this impact YMCA Members who are not AHS staff? YMCA Members who are not AHS staff will need to access the South Health Campus YMCA during the new operational hours identified above.
