| COORDINATION
& CONTINUITY OF CARE |
| Our caring and compassionate staff of medical
professionals coordinates the administrative and medical activities for the Surgical Center.
Prior to the day of surgery, a nurse calls the patient to gather information about medical
history and physical status to enable all team members to give appropriate, individualized
care to each patient. This RN also gives all
information and instructions needed to prepare each patient for their surgery day. The
post-surgical condition of the patient is assessed by telephone within twenty-four hours
after surgery. Working together, attending to every detail . . .the patient's health and
safety is our primary concern.
|
|
HOME THE SAME DAY |
|
The C.O.S. surgical team meticulously monitors each patient's
condition to determine the appropriate time of discharge. Accompanied by a support person
and a nurse or aide, each patient is escorted to their vehicles via wheelchair. Written
instructions regarding pain medication, eating, bathing, etc. are sent home with every
patient. In addition, a review of these instructions is given to the patient and their
support person by a Registered Nurse while at the center.
