  • ROMACC Update
  • The new meds are often the ones that have been missed on the Home Med List at Discharge.

    Please:

    Use the "NEW MED LINES" at the bottom of the Home Med List Admission to help with ROMACC at time of discharge.

    Write the new medications that have been started and on which the patient needs to go home - this is NOT a prescription.

    The nurse has in ONE location a complete discharge medication list that can be used to document the Home Med List at Discharge for both the patient and the medical record.

    To dictate the discharge summary, see the information under the ROMACC tab in the chart.

  • Patient Satisfaction "Flame"
  • Effective March 1, 2008, physicians and staff may see a small (2 x 3 inch) magnetic flame on the doorframes of patients' rooms. The flame is a reminder that the patient has been inconvenienced at some point during their hospital stay. SGH staff have been trained to assure that patient that everyone at SGH is committed to making sure the rest of their stay goes beyond their expectations.
