[pert] Draft policy, finally

[Christopher T. Tanski]

The policy doesn't specifically mention making the diagnosis with a CTA although that is the assumption. We can add this requirement if folks feel it's necessary. Technically, you can also make the diagnosis with RV dysfunction on TTE with hemodynamic instability, which the policy mentions.

I can put something in about VQ scanning being excluded.

In terms of the transfer center, it's not clear to me how this should be involved. I don't know the best way to handle PE transfers. I have some thoughts that we should get them here first and then utilize the process internally but others may feel differently.

Dear Dr.Tanski,



Thank you for sharing and compiling.



It looks excellent.



May I suggest :-



  *   Do we mention PE diagnosed by CTA Thorax.



  *   And V/Q scanning to be excluded?



  *   About the transfer center?





Thank you for considering.









HSG

Okay, the time you've all been waiting for has started (not arrived, just started).



I have a draft PERT policy for you to review.



The PROCEDURE is a separate document that spells out how things happen; I'm still working on this.



Please review the attachment document closely and let's have some discussion.



Thanks.



Chris
