Non-Urgent Pages

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT – NON-URGENT PAGES

The parties agree that there are best practices applicable for services (or units), which may mitigate the effect on residents of non-urgent pages between midnight and 0600.

The parties further agree that this is an issue of mutual concern that would appropriately be addressed at a forum which is appropriate to address resident issues, or where mutually agreed a joint committee specifically established to address non-urgent pages.

It is understood and agreed that issues of the quality of care, the safety of the patient, and resident fatigue and risk management will be primary considerations in these discussions. The committee’s work may include developing a plan for implementation, the details of which may change from time to time. The application or changes of such plan is not grievable.
