Information for Physicians |

The Sarasota Memorial Hospital 2006 Hurricane Physician On-Call Information is listed below. |
|
The Medical Executive Committee has approved a modified approach for physician participation and the process for patient care in the hospital during a hurricane. Because we need your specialty present in the hospital during a hurricane we are asking that you spend a few minutes and read this information. Physicians will make daily rounds and dictate progress notes on the hospitalized patients in their specialty. If you have family, they may need to come with you. Please bring your own pillows, towels and sheets or sleeping bags. Remember to bring any specialty food items for children as well as books or small toys. Bring enough clothes to last for several days as the roads may become impassable.
"A" TEAM (during the storm):
The following physicians will be asked to participate as "A" team members and proceed to the physician command center when a hurricane lockdown is called by the hospital: Specialists: who are "on-call" for the Emergency Department that day/night or "on-call" for their specialty group. Hospitalists: two will be in house, one outside for relief as "B" team. These numbers will increase once more hospitalists are on staff.
"B" TEAM (after the storm-relief): Rotations among physicians for primary care, if additional help is necessary after the storm, will be established by the Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Elect and the Chief Medical Officer involving rotations from each of the primary care offices. Specialists: who are "on-call" for the emergency Department that day/night or "on-call" for their specialty group. Hospitalists: One or more, as designated for "B" team relief.

Provide group-call
calendars for each month. ·
Immediate family
members will be invited to come with the physician, no animals WHEN TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL: The keys, low lying mainland, and trailer parks will be evacuated when the Level I Evacuation is issued by the County Disaster Center. We can expect patients previously identified as high risk persons with special needs and pregnant women to start arriving at that time. The hospital will go on alert when this Evacuation is issued. A Lockdown may be eminent, at which time the physicians will be asked to make plans to come to the hospital before the roads are impassable. Stand by and stay tuned via TV, Radio and Internet at www.smh.com for updates. The physicians' support to the hospital and the community is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Physician
Hurricane Command Team
