1 Admitting medical service is dependent on active medical issues (e.g., decompensated heart failure to CCU/CSU instead of general medicine) and will be determined as per the ED Admissions Grid
2 Patients with an active issue that is more appropriate for a non ENT/FACE/medicine service will be admitted as per the ED Admission Grid (e.g., a patient with facial cellulitis, elevated creatinine, and acute appendicitis would go to general surgery).
3 Uncertainty regarding the appropriate primary admitting team should be resolved through a discussion between the otolaryngology/medicine admitting residents. If after discussion uncertainty persists, it should be resolved through an attending to attending discussion initiated by the service initially called by the ED for admission. (ED Decides on admit service; if a different service is felt to be more appropriate then a transfer to that service can be done per the workflow in this agreement after the admit order)
4 Patients with invasive fungal sinusitis will be admitted to the medicine service with otolaryngology consulting.
5 Patients requiring direct admission after an elective otolaryngology surgery or directly from otolaryngology clinic are subject to this agreement.
