- Policy on Weather Related Emergency Procedures for LSUHSC-New Orleans
http://www.lsuhsc.edu/administration/cm/cm-51.pdf - All house officers who have cell phones must sign up to receive Text Messages Alerts as soon as possible:
http://www.lsuhsc.edu/alerts/TextEmailAlerts.aspx - All house officers must monitor their LSUHSC email accounts at least daily and check for Emergency Related Updates on the LSUHSC Homepage:
http://www.lsuhsc.edu/ The GME office will use the LSUHSC email system for all communication. The non-LSU email addresses should only be used in the event the LSUHSC system is not functioning. If the Chancellor has declared an emergency requiring closure of any unit of the institution: - All house officers should monitor local television and radio broadcast for messages related to LSUHSC and the School of Medicine. These modes of communication will be used to inform you of where to report for duty should the school or institution remain closed for an undetermined length of time.
- All house officers are required to update their personal contact information on the LSUHSC-NO registry. The registry will become available on-line via the LSUHSC-NO website once a state of emergency has been declared by the Chancellor.
Faculty, staff and students failing to update their contact information on the registry will be subjected to disciplinary action up to and including being charged with an unauthorized absence. - Adhere to all recommendations and requirements discussed in CM-51.
- Under the direction of your Program Director, all house officers should adhere to any hospital “CODE GREY” procedures.
- Under the direction of your Program Director, all house officers will report as assigned by their program. In general and in those cases where assignments cannot be made or cannot be met, all house officers must report to the medical staff office at the nearest public hospital as soon as conditions permit.
If there will be a prolonged absence of our operations from New Orleans: - All house officers must check in daily at the hospital medical staff office.
- All house officers must keep a daily log of the sites they are assigned to and attend. Their assignments must be turned in to their Program Coordinator and/or department business manager. This information will be forwarded to the GME Office. RESIDENT PAYROLL WILL BE DETERMINED BY THIS INFORMATION.
- GME Office Administration will relocate and reestablish function at the earliest possible time in a central location most likely on the main campus of LSU in Baton Rouge. The location and further information will be listed on the web site. Communication will begin immediately between the DIO and Program Directors. Weekly or more frequent meetings will be held at a central site to begin working with program directors on relocation of training program rotations and reassignment or transfer of residents where necessary.
- House Officer Payroll is paid by electronic deposit and is done off site therefore there will be no interruption anticipated.
- TRANSFERS - ALL RESIDENTS AND PROGRAM DIRECTORS CONSIDERING RESIDENT TRANSFERS MUST FOLLOW THE BELOW PROCEDURES - In the unlikely event that we are not able to return to New Orleans for an extended period, rotations will need to be set up at other hospitals. The majority of these will be in Baton Rouge and Lafayette as determined by your program director. Only in rare cases will they need to be performed outside Louisiana and that must be prospectively determined by the program director and GME Office. These finite transfers for specific training rotations are called Temporary Transfers. The GME Office must perform certain functions for these to be approved. In rare instances a resident may need to permanently transfer to complete all of their training. These are called Permanent Transfers and are treated quite differently than temporary ones. The resident should review the below policies to understand the difference. For temporary and permanent resident transfers, please have your house officer email you and copy Dr.
