Patient Quality & Safety

Shift changes occur at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every day. Patient care information will be shared with the oncoming staff followed by a complete assessment of the patient. The nurses use Bar Code Medication Administration. After verbal confirmation of the patient’s name, their ID band is scanned, as is each medication. If the medication has not been ordered for that patient, this system prevents it from being scanned and administered.

 

Hospitalists

Our board certified internal medicine physicians, or hospitalists, care for each patient. These hospitalists may also request consultations with specialty physicians or other specialists during your stay.
