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.

The Washington State Department of Health also

conducts a multi-day survey every three years as

RAPID RESPONSE REMINDER

Preventing Falls: We take special care to keep you safe and prevent falls. Our staff will

assess you continually for your risk of falling. Depending on your risk, we may use extra

precautions to keep you safe, including the use of assistive devices such as a gait belt,

bed alarm or chair alarm. To be safest and to avoid falls, please use your nurse call button

before getting out of bed, traveling to the bathroom, using the toilet, or moving to or from

a chair. Please wait for the nurse to arrive to assist you with these activities. A majority of

falls in hospitals occur while patients use the bathroom. We understand your desire for

privacy and wish to help you avoid injury. We will respect your privacy as much as possible

while keeping you as safe as possible.

Your Medications: Ask us about your medications, including those we prescribe to you in

the hospital and those you regularly take at home. Please let us know if you experience

any reaction to a medication, such as feeling itchy or dizzy, or if you develop a headache,

nausea or blurry vision. If you are not familiar with a medication or if the amount does

not seem right, please speak up and ask us to double-check.

Rapid Response Call: If you or your loved ones become worried and have a serious concern

about a change in your condition that cannot wait or feel it has not been adequately

addressed by your doctor or nurse, please use the bedside phone, or any hospital phone,

to dial 1199. Tell the operator it is a Rapid Response Call; the operator will ask for the caller’s

name, the patient’s name, the patient’s room number and the cause of the concern.
