Our 35 bed unit encompasses Medical, Surgical,
Pediatric, Obstetrical, Surgical Day Care and Long Term Care. Several years
ago, the nursing staff embarked on cross training to enable them to provide
quality care to a diverse patient population. This process is ongoing.
We enjoy supportive relationships with our Tertiary Centre and other area
hospitals.
-
Medical care includes two constant care beds
plus four telemetry beds. A large majority of the RN staff is trained in
Advanced Cardiac Life Support including defibrillation certification.
Regular re-certification sessions are offered on-site to both medical and
nursing staff.
-
A dedicated General Surgeon services our Surgical
beds.
-
Patient goal identification and realistic
plans for attainment take place at regular multidisciplinary team conferences.
An integrated charting system including bedside charting ensures the most
current patient information is readily available to the entire team.
-
Pharmaceutical supplies are reviewed regularly
by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee through the combined efforts
of Pharmacy, Medical and Nursing staff. Quality patient care remains
our focus, thus requests are rarely denied. Computerized printouts
provide physicians with a current medication list on the patient chart.
-
The Surgical Day Care unit is utilized daily,
for both Surgical and Diagnostic procedures. A multi-departmental
pre admission program provides our clients with preoperative preparation.
-
Pediatric beds are available according to
need.
-
Long Term Care serves a variety of community
needs such as Chronic, Palliative, Respite and Transitional care. The role
of family stands in high regard in this area. The importance of activation
is recognized and is aptly led by a 5 day/week Activity Coordinator.
