Droplet Precautions
Patient Transport
During transport, the patient must wear a surgical mask. Departments to where a patient may be transported, such as Diagnostic Imaging, Therapeutic Radiology, Rehabilitation Services, and others must be notified of the need for Droplet Precautions prior to the actual transport of the patient.

Notification is the responsibility of unit personnel prior to transport of the patient.
