Daytime Ward Processes

GIM as a Junior Resident

• Typical CTU Daytime

​

+/- attend all Code Blues if on call that night

Documentation

• Sunnycare – All of our patient care notes are documented and found in Sunnycare
• Progress Notes
• Consult Notes
• Discharge Summaries
• Procedure Notes
• *Advanced Care Planning* - if you have a GOC conversation with your patient on admission or during hospital stay, use ACP note to document.

Documentation

Documentation Pearls

1. Do NOT Copy and Paste → Leads to outdated/erroneous information being carried forward, and lack of fresh thinking about existing patient issues.

​

1. Write as you go → Do not save until the end of the day/after rounds. Can wait to sign off your note after reviewing plan with the team.

​

1. Keep discharge summaries up to date →Don’t save D/C until the last minute - it will save you so much time to keep them up to date on a day to day basis.

​

1. Be mindful → Other healthcare professionals, consultants, and most importantly patients read your notes on a day to day basis (MyChart). Use professional and respectful language, and think about how others will interpret what you are documenting.

Order Entry

• Paper Orders → Bulk of order entry
• Medications – new order, change, discontinuation
• Investigations – bloodwork
• Nursing communications (EX: Please remove foley catheter)
• Discharge orders “Discharge to Rehab @ 10AM”
• Special forms → GOC forms, MRI reqs*, EMG/NCS etc.

*MRI forms now have to be filled out electronically (form on Linktree) and then printed + faxed

​

• Sunnycare Orders → Mostly used on admission/transfer/discharge
• Admission order sets
• Transfusion orders
• Admission/transfer/discharge medication reconciliations
• Admission labs

​

When admitting overnight, please try to do as much order entry on the computer as possible!

“EPR” Orders

• At Sunnybrook the majority of our imaging orders/IR procedures are entered through “EPR” which is accessed via Sunnycare:

​

​

​

• Once you are in EPR you need to select the “provider” aka your GIM staff. The specific imaging orders (ex: CT Chest) can be found via the “search” function or manually. Select by double clicking. 🡪

​

• Before signing any orders ensure you are in the right patient’s chart to avoid incorrect order entry.

Order Entry

• Pearls for writing orders:
• For each new order/list of orders you write include the following:
• Team (i.e Green Team)
• Date/Time
• Clear instructions (ex. “Lasix 20mg IV daily – first dose now”.)
• Avoid abbreviations (ex: Lantus 20 UNITS QHS, not 20 IU QHS)
• Signature + designation (M. Corrado PGY4 GIM)

​

• Flag all new orders in the chart

​

• For any urgent/stat orders - communicate these directly with the RN.

Reviewing Medications

• The most up to date patient Medication Administration Records (MARs) are found on paper hardcopies in the medication rooms on each ward (D2,C4,C6 nursing stations)

​

• Pearls
• Review the hard copy MAR for each of your patients every day (Sunnycare Meds list may not be up to date)

​

• Reach out to your Team Pharmacist for any med questions

​

• Ensure home medications are accurate when admitting patients - check Connecting Ontario, nursing/retirement home MAR, call family/community pharmacy etc.

Medication Reconciliation

Mandatory for all inpatients!

What is it? A way to reconcile in-hospital medications with home medications, based on the BPMH taken by the pharmacy team

Who can do it? Anybody on the team (including medical students - must save as draft + review with resident/staff). Ask your pharmacist for help!

How to do it?

When looking at team list on Sunnycare, look for red exclamation marks and click on them

Complete the med rec (decide what to continue, what to hold, re-order missing home meds) - see next slide

Sign and print - and place in patient’s chart in Orders section to flag to nurse (copy sent to pharmacy automatically)

Medication Reconciliation

Redirecting GIM Patients to KMH (New 2026)

Starting July 2026, a patient could be redirected from Sunnybrook ED to KMH Cardiology/GIM Clinic if ALL are met:

• Hemodynamically stable:
• SBP ≥ 100 mmHg
• HR 50–100 bpm (or baseline)
• SpO₂ ≥ 94% on room air (or baseline)
• No active ischemia, shock, syncope, or altered mental status.
• No IV inotropic support required.
• Patient is able and capable to attend KMH Cardiology Clinic within 24–72 hours, with reliable follow-up, and understands return-to-ED instructions.
• If patient has cardiologist, GIM assessment is that they cannot be seen reliably within 48 hours
• GIM senior resident and staff physicians agree that the patient fits the criteria.

Redirecting GIM Patients to KMH (New 2026)

Patient could be redirected to from Sunnybrook ED to KMH Cardiology-GIM Clinic if ALL the inclusion criteria are met, and NONE of the exclusion criteria is met:

​

SMR can approach the PAA in the ED who can book a follow up directly at KMH (after reviewing with staff)

​

Feedback while on CTU, subspecialty, and life

• As part of your residency training, you will be receiving plenty of formal and informal feedback through various mechanisms:
• Mid/End of rotation verbal feedback
• EPAs
• ITARs
• As a resident, you will also be asked to provide formal, anonymous feedback through POWER at the end of the rotation for attendings (and medical students)
• This is important since it helps to ensure that everyone is at their very best!
• Tips on feedback
• Almost all feedback that you receive is informal and purely for your development as a trainee. Not every evaluation will be “glowing” - that would be doing you a disservice
• Learning how to provide feedback constructively is a skill/art and we will discuss this throughout the rotation.
• “Staff X can change their teaching in this way” vs. “This staff is a terrible teacher”

L1 Transfers Overnight

Example scenario: Red team patient needs a L1 bed, open L1 bed under Blue team, Green team staff is staff is on call

​

Steps:

1. Red team resident discusses with SMR + Red team staff +/- ICU (if involved) about need to move patient to L1
2. Red team resident writes L1 transfer orders and hands over to Blue team resident
3. Blue team resident assesses the patient once in the L1 bed, writes a new consult note (as MRP has changed), and amends orders as necessary
4. GIM on call staff (I.e. Green team staff in this case) should be made aware of the transfer by SMR

Reminder that all ins/outs of L1 should be discussed with on call staff!

Reviewing Consults in the Morning

• In the morning, you will review all admitted patients with your staff as well as handover any overnight ward issues
• It is helpful to print out your consult notes so you have it on you during your case presentation, but this is optional
• It is also helpful to write ward issues on a patient list as they happen so you do not forget�
• NOTE: As a JMR, you may be asked by SMR to admit a patient to Orange and/or Silver
• If this happens, page the staff of that team at 7AM to review the case, usually by phone. Reminder that this is a full review just like any other consult

• Please support the use of our CHASM non-pharmacological care protocol for the prevention and management of delirium

https://sunnynet.ca/Default.aspx?cid=124366&lang=1

​

• Antipsychotics should only be used for severe behavioural symptoms that are not manageable with non-pharmacological interventions alone. Remember to reassess the patient’s response and antipsychotic dose every 24 hours

​

• A Behavioural Support Specialist can be consulted for the management of patients with high risk behaviours
