Emergency Response Network Board
Interregional Transfer Protocol
On June 18, 2009, the Louisiana Emergency Response Network Board (La. R.S. 40:2842(1)) adopted and promulgated “Interregional Transfer Protocol” for the Louisiana Emergency Response Network (La. R.S. 40:2842(3)), as follows:
Interregional Transfer Protocol
The LERN Interregional Transfer Protocol only applies to those regions and (hospitals/EMS) that are participating in the LERN network.
The interregional transfer protocol will be tested over a 90 day period. At the end of the 90 days all interregional transfers will be reviewed for compliance with protocols, quality, patient safety and standards of care. This information will be shared with commissions of the regions participating as well as the LERN board and the “design the system group”. Decisions regarding the Interregional Transfer Protocol will be made at the end of the 90 days trial period.
Interregional Transfer Protocol
1) All patients whose condition exceeds the regionally available resources provided by local area hospitals may be transferred from one region to another following LERN Interregional Transfer Protocol. Destination to the definitive care hospital in the receiving region will follow the LERN Standard Protocol (all laws regarding EMTALA apply).
2) Only regions operating with the LERN Standard Protocol will be involved in the LERN Interregional Transfer Protocol.
3) Patients being transferred via the LERN Interregional Transfer Protocol must:
a. be assessed at a local area hospital for treatment and stabilized by a physician and meet the entry criteria as determined by LERN Standard Protocol
b. treating physician will call LERN to request a transfer to another hospital
c. LCC (LERN Call Center) will determine the closest and most appropriate facility available following LERN Standard Protocol.
d. if there are no available resources in the region then the LCC will locate an appropriate facility outside the region, and a interregional transfer will be considered.
(All LERN interregional transfers will be reviewed by LERN Medical Directors and data will be collected for QI/PI)
Exceptions:
1. EMS requesting LERN for patients located on or close to borders between 2 regions will and can be directed to either region based on the patient needs and available resources.
2. Air-med at the scene that is able to mitigate the time of transfer of long distances will and can be directed to hospitals outside the region they originate from based on patients needs and available resources.
3. LERN Medical Directors will be involved in the decision making (real time) in all patients that fall into the exception category.
On August 20, 2009, the Louisiana Emergency Response Network Board (La. R.S. 40:2842(1)) adopted and promulgated the amended “Interregional Transfer Protocol” for the Louisiana Emergency Response Network (La. R.S. 40:2842(3)), as follows:
Interregional Transfer Protocol
The LERN Interregional Transfer Protocol only applies to those regions, hospitals and pre-hospital providers that are participating in the LERN network.
The interregional transfer protocol will be tested over a 90 day period, at the end of which all interregional transfers will be reviewed for compliance with protocols, quality, patient safety and standards of care. This information will be shared with regional commissions, LERN Board, and LERN Design the System Work Group. Decisions regarding the Interregional Transfer Protocol will be made at the end of the 90 day trial period.
