I work in small hospital which is about 80 beds. We have M/S, tele, peds on one unit. We have a 5 bed OB and a 5 bed nursery. 22 skilled nursing beds, 4 ICU beds, and some psych beds, plus ER. I think we have a good hospital but like a lot of small facilities we have a reputation for being a band aid station. Of course there are things we can't handle like cardiac caths, transplants, dialysis, CABG and stuff like that. We can give whatever clot busting drug is current now for MI's that need them and transfer them to a larger facility. We can at least stabilize the pt and have them transported. So, how do we go about improving the image of our facility? Anyone else have this problem? I would like to hear from you. Thanks.
