SMHC Facesheets....from Dr. Nilson.....
"We will be removing the black bin in the EMS room in the next few days. If you do not have time to grab the demographics sheet when the patient is registered/at the time of patient drop off for whatever reason please ask go to REGISTRATION in the ED (as opposed to the secretary charge nurse) and ask them to reprint the face sheet for you.
This is being done, in part, in an effort to use that small space more efficiently by not having extra things in that room that are not needed. The point was also made by several EMS folks that that facesheets tend to accumulate in this bin over time. Give that these sheets contain PHI, we want to try to limit this exposure.
If you have paper that contains PHI, please dispose of it in the large shredder bins behind the charge nurse and secretary.
Thank you for adjusting to this process change.
Doug Nilson"
