In accordance with the Mission, Vision, Values and strategic direction of BCEHS and PHSA, safety, including both patient and employee safety, is a priority and a responsibility shared by everyone at BCEHS and PHSA. As such, the requirement to continuously improve quality and safety is inherent in all aspects of this position.

The **Interfacility - Emergency Medical Call Taker** (I-EMCT) is the first point of contact when health care facilities, health care professionals, physicians and nurses, request emergent, urgent, unscheduled care and/or repatriation of patients between health care facilities. The role gathers critical information from the caller and/or hospital medical teams, uses approved protocols and systems to assess the patient transfer requirements and notifies dispatch to send the most appropriate resource.

The role is high pressure, fast paced and includes coordination of emergency patient transfers in which the patient’s life, limb or organs are imminently threatened with potential negative outcomes. The role shows care, compassion and consideration to health authority staff dealing with highly distressing and emotional circumstances and uses persuasive and negotiating skills when handling calls where the caller is confrontational and uncooperative.

The I-EMCT facilitates conference calls between sending and receiving physicians, accurately documents summaries that include detailed information and interpretation regarding the patient condition, medical terminology, pharmaceutical information and any other details to support the transfer of care, including identifying the need for additional specialized physician support on the call. In addition, the I-EMCT is also required to contact external and internal partners to ensure exceptional service is provided to our patients and community.

- Arranges teleconference calls between the sending and receiving physicians or delegate to facilitate transfer requests. Documents physician teleconference calls into the computerized database. Confirms with receiving health care facility regarding available bed options prior to transfers.
- Functions as a liaison by contacting patient flow and access teams at different health care facilities and exchanging related information regarding patient transfer requests to confirm bed availability, which can include out of province or country placements. Processes daily patient transfer assignments in order of acuity level, depending on transfer timeframes agreed upon by sending and receiving physicians. Notifying other agencies as required in accordance with established policies and guidelines.
- Monitors transfer timeframes and engages sending and receiving physicians as well as BCEHS Emergency Physician Online Support (EPOS) and CCPA to ensure that the patient is accepted and a bed is offered within the agreed upon timeframe.
- Gathers transport care requirements required for the BCEHS dispatcher to assign the most appropriate crew and resource.
