Escalate Matrix
What pages on-call — and what holds until open
- Tier A: airway, bleeding, vision, chest pain, anaphylaxis-type — page now + ER guidance as published
- Tier B: severe pain, swelling, post-op red flags — on-call within SLA
- Tier C: booking, fees, marketing — morning queue only
- Named owner per night; never “whoever sees it first” on a personal phone
- Stop-rules: no clinical freestyle by reception; no inventing ER destinations; no fee debates at 2am
