PINK BAND PROJECT

The Pink Band Project is an Island Health initiative designed to facilitate communication and handover between health care staff during transitions between long-term and acute care (including Emergency Department visits, acute care admission, and return/discharge to the resident's LTC home).

Aim: Improve the ability of hospital staff to recognize a LTC resident in order to help them make the best decisions about admission and discharge.
