Urgent/Emergent Add-Ons

Add-ons are Urgent/Emergent cases with the exception of patients who are currently in house. Case Requests received on the day of surgery or after 5 p.m. two business days prior to the surgical date are considered add-ons as well as weekend, holiday, and evening cases. Add-ons are vetted based on patient acuity and resource availability. Directions for add-on scheduling:

1. Submit a "Case Request" in Epic

AND

2. Call the Charge RN for unit in which the procedure is intended to take place to discuss needs
