Capacity Coordination Center Nursing
The Capacity Coordination Center is a service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help facilitate urgent/emergent transfers to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) and soon to include the full Dartmouth Health system. Calls to the Capacity Coordination Center are answered by an experienced Registered Nurse who collect all pertinent information while contacting the respective DHMC clinical service provider(s).
The Capacity Coordination Center for Dartmouth Health utilizes data driven decision making, coordinates information, and aligns resources to facilitate patient transfer and placement to the appropriate level of care.
Our inter-disciplinary staff uses technology including computer applications, real-time dashboards, and daily collaboration with system staff to accomplish their work.
Our Capacity Coordination Nurses and Specialists are the most visible members of the Capacity Coordination Center. They communicate bed availability to incoming patients, physicians and nursing staff to ensure the earliest possible bed placement for patients coming from outside the facility, the Emergency Department or the Operating Room.
