1. Urgent Access Clinic (UAC)
1. Urgent Access Clinic (UAC)
These clinics are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9 AM – 12 PM at the Kaye Edmonton Clinic, section 3D.
There are 4 patient slots for each clinic. 2 patients will be scheduled with the attending physician and 2 patients will be scheduled with a resident. Each patient is scheduled for 1 ½ hour (9 AM and 10:30 AM) to allow time for the resident to assess and review patients with the attending physician.
The electronic medical record (EMR) used at the Kaye Edmonton Clinic is Connect Care. Please ensure you have access to Connect Care before this rotation starts. To get access, please contact Carrie Hlady, GIM Program Coordinator at carrie.hlady@ualberta.ca.
Please ensure that the EMR on Connect Care is updated for all patients seen. Past Medical History, Medications, Allergies, Social history, vitals and orders can all be entered on Connect Care.
There are letter templates on Connect Care for which all users have access to. Ask your attending which template(s) they would like you to use for your letters.
Patients seen in UAC that require additional follow‐up appointments should be booked in follow‐up with the attending physician that is on. Occasionally, if a patient requires follow‐up but can be booked with the same resident to preserve continuity for a learner, that patient can be booked back in UAC for that purpose.
Referrals for GIM and UAC clinics are triaged by the attending physician on ward consults. If there is a senior resident or junior attending rotating through this service, they can participate in triaging.

Transfer of Critical Care Patients to GIM Wards
Transfer of Critical Care Patients to GIM Wards
Process:
Process:
When the Critical care attending physician identifies a patient who may be ready for transfer to GIM ward, they will request consultation by GIM Consultation Service.
The Ward GIM Consultation Service assesses patient and patient’s readiness for GIM Ward.
If patient is assessed as appropriate for transfer to GIM ward, the GIM Consult Service will:
Complete a Consult Note - indicating the patient is appropriate for transfer.
Inform the Bed Coordinator via Connect Care secure chat or call (77718) to inform them the patient has been accepted.
Continue to follow along with Critical Care Service until such time as bed becomes available for transfer.
Once a bed is available on a GIM unit, give handover to the accepting physician or senior on the unit.
**Where possible, transfers should most often take place during regular working hours.
The Bed Coordinator should, in the first instance, always communicate with GIM Consultation service regarding Critical Care Transfers
