Details of the Hospitalist work is as follows:

The Timmins and District Hospital has a typical census of around 60 so you could expect a list of 15, including ALC (0-3 patients) on a 4 hospitalist week.

We truly have a great supportive group of family physicians and specialist support including Internal Medicine, General Surgery, ENT, Psychiatry, Orthopedics, Anesthesia, Addictions Medicine, and Nephrology. We also have an excellent DI Dept with state-of-the-art CT and MRI.

The 4th hospitalist is on-call for new admissions for 1/4 of the week, equally split with the other 3 hospitalists. Admits typically come from the ICU or ER. Our Emergency physicians do admit orders and will also hold calls from 23:00 hrs until the next am at 07:00 hrs before calling. Admissions are divided equally among the four hospitalists, usually when you meet in the am (typically work together to balance the lists). Hospitalists are also on-call for their patients throughout the week.

We use Meditech Expanse as our EMR.

Weeks begin at 08:00 on Friday and end the following Friday at 08:00
