COVID-19 Hospital Transfer Form for Patients with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Organization: Surrey Place Centre
Description: The COVID-19 Hospital Transfer Form is designed for family and other caregivers of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In the event of a hospital admission for COVID-19, this form communicates essential information to hospital staff, including medical information, substitute decision-maker contacts and information about support needs. It promotes the accommodation of a person’s unique communication and behavioural support needs in health care. It is recommended to prepare this form in advance of a COVID-19 emergency and have it available upon a transfer to the hospital.
