Ward Attending Policies

All patients have a Ward Service Attending Physician assigned at the time of admission whether admitted during the day or by the Night Float Resident. This Department of Medicine Attending Physician should be called to discuss any questions regarding patient care and must be notified promptly whenever any patient is clinically unstable or is moved to a higher level of care, has a major change in status or is made DNR.

The Ward Service Attending Physician is on call for all patients admitted to their team 24 hours a day for the entire period they are on service.
