Action: Mark will bring to physicians at Wednesday meeting The concern of physicians being addressed by first name in front of families. This has been addressed with the nurses. Chart label confusion with the surgeons: The surgeons are pulling any label thinking that they should be inpatient not realizing that we dont put those labels in the charts.

Has been decided that this is not our issue but the surgeons. Shirley will discuss with Dr. Evans and Dr. Nahirniak Dose reductions Action: Tabled to next meeting see 3.1 action Rounding to m2: Has this been drawn up?

catch it or we get a phone call from nuc med saying the GFR cannot be done. There was also an issue with ultrasound refusing to do an ultrasound when the patient was injected for GFR first, as they were concerned with exposure the isotope that was injected so we need to call both departments for this to go ahead.
