Jewish General Hospital
Dr Jed Lipes is the Director of the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Clinic (DTC) at the Jewish General Hospital. The DTC was unveiled in mid-July 2016 and functions as a rapid听access internal medicine clinic with dedicated nursing, procedural capabilities on site, therapy rooms (transfusions, IV medication) and dedicated access to radiology. Referrals were initially open to ER only and, due to the initial success, has now expanded to all physicians in the hospital and, more importantly, to the primary care physicians in the community. The 7 internists who staff the DTC see a wide range of acute medical illnesses including malignancy investigation, fever of unknown origin, anemia, acute renal failure, etc., avoiding unnecessary ER visits and hospital admissions. The DTC is equipped with a procedure room and point-of-care ultrasound and the clinician can perform thoracentesis/paracentesis and point-of-care echocardiography. The clinic听runs for 3 half-days a week.
