Ok this maybe long sorry...
Pt admitted 5/4 Med A with Lung CA and pantocytopenia was hospitalized for weeks and recieved blood just about qod (i told them not to accept them--thats another story) anyway
went for hosp on 5/7 for a scheduled transfusion at 4:30 pm hospital called at 2am on 5/8 to say he was admitted to the hospital-----our nurse counted meds and sent back to the pharmacy but that was it no other discharge paperwork was done-----hospital social worker calls the floor on 5/8 pt to to return on 5/8 at 5pm---he did BUT there wasnt any readmission done it was treated as if he went to a doctors appt.
My question He was discharged...out for 24 and a half hours so I do a 5 day assessment for that period CORRECT???? then a discharge return anticipated then a rentry
readmitted on 5/8 went out on 5/12(yes another transfusion) so i will do another 5 day assessment CORRECT??? then a discharge return not anticipated...
I just need to know if I'm going crazy because the DON says NO he was not discharged from the facility....(unbelievable what I'm dealing with at this place)
Needless to say we are not taking him back....Can you believe they are going to listen to me LOL------ day late and a dollar short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the help :)
