RN 2 stated she could not remember who she spoke to at Acute Care Hospital 1 or if it was another nurse who called in the report.

RN 2 stated she thought she had given the medical records to the ambulance personnel. RN 2 stated the ambulance personnel kept a record on their iPad. RN 2 stated they did not keep a record of which medical records were sent because they were printed from the electronic record system.

The DON stated the transferring nurse must call the report to the nurse at the receiving facility for continuity of care. The DON stated it was an expectation that the transferring nurse complete a transfer discharge form.
