Hi, what kind of policies and procedures does your institution have for medication orders for patients who are still housed in the ED but awaiting transfer with the disposition orders already in? Who is responsible for assuming care of the patient for medication orders/labs, etc if there is a delay in transfer? This could be situations where there is a transport delay to an outpatient facility. Or the more pressing issue is if there is a freestanding ER and transfer is pending to the main ED but there is delay in the transport or bed availability but disposition orders are already in.
