We are merging our old primary campus to our larger secondary hospital once expansion renovations are done. Has anyone else experienced a merge? And what did you come across during that we should worry about/plan for? Any help would be great. Thank you!

Emergency planning/evacuations and risk assessments
Ensuring CLIA and accreditations are aware - merging CLIA/CAP numbers
LIS/HIS systems updates with updated location names
Ensuring internet capabilities for any POC devices and/or phlebotomy cart connectivity
Ensuring enough staffing for increase in phlebotomy needs
Wireless Access points/network access. Will you need network jacks? Will you need IP addresses?
Locations for new POC devices-- creating/naming locations in your data management and also assigning operators to them so they have access
Licensing for new devices in your data management system, satisfying the needs of your data management system
Operator manuals, tracking logs, timers, thermometers, test kits...also storage/refrigeration.
Of course, if the facility changes its name, all the forms have to be modified to reflect the new name/logo..
