What is Sacred Heart doing to prepare for the move?
The patient move from Sacred Heart, University District, to Sacred Heart at RiverBend is scheduled to take place on August 10, 2008. Our plan allows for moving up to 300 patients over 10 hours. We will move three patients at a time (from three different staging areas). Each staging area will be moving a patient every six minutes, which adds up to 10 patients from each staging area per hour, or 30 patients per hour total. Over ten hours, that adds up to 300 patients! Leading up to the move, our team will also work with police and fire agencies throughout the state to stage a series of mock moves.
