Pre-Hospital Consult Requests

Pre-Hospital Consults allow agencies to consult with hospitals.

A few things to know about managing Consults:

  • Consults can begin once a destination hospital has been alerted.
  • The ability to perform a Consult (i.e. the availability of the Consult button) is based on whether the desired Hospital has at least one Consult Relationship created in Pulsara MANAGER.
  • Hospitals will receive an alert when the Consult request is sent.

Consults can only occur with a hospital facility that is different than the one originally alerted about the patient.

 

In the Requests section, the Consult button will allow you to initiate the consult in Pulsara.

Tap the Consult button to begin.
