What is an average inpatient census nightly at the hospital that MOD has to cross cover?
Answer: As of 6/14/23, about 150 in CLC, 85-90 in RRTP and 10 in acute psych. As we continue to reopen services with the PHE ending, we would have capacity up to 225 in CLC, 148 in RRTP and 15 in acute psych. The census changes nearly every day.
Approximately how many patient calls do MOD receive per night from inpatients and CLC?
Answer: Very dependent on the day, could range from 1-2 or as high as 10-15. Weekends and Holidays are 24 hours so call volume could increase during those longer shifts.
Is MOD responsible to cover any codes or rapid responses?
