Campus Announcements
From Drs. Laurie Malia & David Kessler
Wanted: Participants for Intussusception POCUS Study
This is an Intussusception POCUS Study evaluating whether an online learning platform can lead to improvement in identifying intussusception on ultrasound.
Electronic Handoff!
Starting on March 28th, 7:30 am, providers will not be required to do a phone handoff for admitted medicine patients, handoff will occur via Epic Chat, where PPOC will assign a team, and the medicine team will confirm they have no questions/concerns and message the patient as “endorsed” in the Epic chat.
The ask from our end is that we must have a completed and signed provider note in the chart for the patient, so a bed can be assigned. PPOC will be monitoring this, but it will be on us (particularly the attendings) to ensure this occurs. The faculty have already been told that they are responsible for ensuring with their ED team that the provider notes are complete and signed.
In addition, you will also need to complete the same handoff note for the inpatient team as before.
This should hopefully enable us to get our patients teams and beds in a more efficient manner while still maintaining patient safety.
If there is any question about bed acuity or correct service, the medicine team may call the ED team to clarify, and again with this, feel free to escalate to the ED attending as needed.
A huge thanks to Amos for spearheading this initiative with the medicine department!

Reminder for Interventional Radiology Consults:
IR at Cornell requires a consult order to guarantee response. If emergent it needs to state life and limb threatening.
