Your Care Team When You Are Here
While you or your family are a patient at EvergreenHealth
Our commitment is to always do our best in assisting you and in meeting your needs.
We appreciate the opportunity to care for you and your loved ones.
As your trusted health care partner, we will always …
Be committed to your comfort
Ensure your safety and well-being
Make sure your room is clean and sanitized
Treat you with dignity
Respond and assist you
Have the time to answer your questions and help you understand your care
Help you make informed decisions related to your care
Address your concerns and requests
Help you prepare with what you need to leave our care
Care Providers. As a patient or family
member, you will have many care
providers on your team during your stay
with us, including physicians, registered
nurses, support services (physical/
occupational/speech therapy, social
services, nutritionists, etc.) and other
health care professionals. Your team of
providers will work together and with you
to plan your care until you leave for home.
Charge Nurses. Most Nursing Units
have a designated Charge Nurse. The
Charge Nurse helps to manage staff
coverage, patient care and satisfaction,
and communication between caregivers
and patients. Charge Nurses might also
visit you during your stay. If you have
any questions about your care or feel you
need additional support during your stay,
you can request to speak with the Charge
Nurse by asking any member of your care
team.

Hospitalists are physicians who specialize in caring for hospitalized inpatients. At
EvergreenHealth, we have many types of hospitalists who care for our patients: Adult,
Intensivists, Neurohospitalists, OB-Gyn, Pediatric and Neonatologists.
Adult Hospitalists are board-certifi ed internal medicine physicians who specialize in
hospital medicine. At the request of your primary doctor or emergency room physician,
they provide and coordinate your inpatient care. By keeping your primary care physician
informed of your progress, they serve as a single point of contact for you, your family
and your physician. When you have recovered, the adult hospitalist will help you
transition from the hospital to your home or another care facility.
Intensivists are board-certifi ed in internal medicine or surgery, and have completed
a fellowship in critical care medicine with special training in treating critically-ill
patients. Intensivists care for patients primarily in the Critical Care Unit and are also
available for consultation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Neurohospitalist are board-certifi ed in neurology. They care for hospitalized
patients with neurologic disorders including stroke, seizure and confusion. They
practice in the hospital and are also available for consultation in the Emergency
Department. EvergreenHealth was one of the fi rst hospitals in the country to adopt the
neurohospitalist model of care.
OB-GYN Hospitalists are board-certifi ed in obstetrics and gynecology, but practice
exclusively in the hospital setting. They complement a patient’s primary ob-gyn
physician by providing around the clock care and back-up for women in labor or post-
partum and for women receiving gynecological care. They also provide emergent
ob-gyn care for those patients who do not have a primary ob-gyn.
Pediatric Hospitalists have completed three-year pediatric residencies at nationally
known children’s hospitals and provide care at EvergreenHealth as part of a
collaboration with Seattle Children’s Hospital. Pediatric hospitalists care for children in
our pediatric unit and newborn nursery. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and for consultation to the Emergency Department.
Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that consists of the medical care of
newborn infants, especially the ill or premature newborn infant. Neonatologist usually
practice in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). They are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, for newborn-infant emergencies.
Communicating With You About Your Care.We encourage you to speak with our staff should you have any requests, questions or
concerns at any time during your stay. Here are a few easy ways you can communicate
with us during your stay:
In-Room Whiteboards: The whiteboard on the wall in your room is one of the many
ways our care team works with you to plan and share important information about
your care. Together with you, your nurse will use the board to set daily goals, including
your activity, diet, and target discharge date. You and family members are encouraged
to write down notes or questions on the whiteboard so that your nurse or provider can
address them with you.
We will also track and help manage your pain using this board. We want to do
everything possible to help manage your pain. Your nurse will ask you about your pain
regularly, and based on your feedback, will maintain or adjust your pain medication,
change your position, or incorporate other ways to provide you comfort.
Early and Often … Your Nurse Call Button: The nurse call button at your bedside can be
used to request your nurse anytime for any reason at all. Please use your call button as
early and as often as needed. A nurse or technician will respond as soon as possible.
Rounding: A member of your care team will check in with you at least once an hour. If
you are awake, you will be asked a series of questions about how you feel, your pain level,
whether you need to use the restroom or if you need anything else for your comfort.
Physician Rounding: A physician will visit you typically once each day. Your nurse
and hospitalist physician work together closely to share information about your plan
of care. If you would like the nurse to contact your primary provider with a specifi c
question, please ask at any time.
For more information about these services, please ask your nurse.

Your good health and absolute safety are extremely important to us.
Working together—with you, your family and our hospital staff —we
can keep you even safer.
Protecting You From Infections: Hand hygiene is important to prevent infection. Each
hospital room has a container of waterless hand sanitizer by the sink and/or outside the
door. This sanitizer eliminates germs while being gentle on skin.
• Remind friends, family and caregivers to wash or sanitize their hands before coming
into direct contact with you.
• Wash your hands with soap and water, or use the waterless hand sanitizer located in
the room.
• Discourage family or friends with an active cough or cold from visiting you at
the hospital.
• And please feel empowered to remind us to sanitize our hands before caring for
you—if you do not see us follow our standard practice to do so.
Keeping You Safe
