HEADS UP Alert cards identify patients who need attention before surgery.

Please Check on This Patient

Our pre-op nurses hang laminated yellow alert cards on IV poles next to the beds of patients who need paperwork completed or issues resolved before we roll them back for surgery. That way, the circulating nurse knows she has to fill in the missing documentation or address the patient's concerns. The alert cards are a simple and effective way to keep your surgical schedule on track.
