Suggestions to improve your patients' experience!!! |
|
-Please use care when telling family members about the patient's stay in PACU. It might not be wise to quote a specific timeframe (i.e. one hour) since a longer PACU stay could cause the family to become angry or concerned. Remember, PACU cannot transfer the patient during change of shift or the transfer may be delayed until a bed becomes available.
-Remember that the patient's family may be waiting in the lobby while the patient is having a procedure. It is their expectation that the physician will come and speak to them at the end of the procedure.

First Touch Quick Tips |
|
The First Touch process ensures that your time with patients is meaningtul, increases satisfaction, and reduces patient anxiety.
- With first-time patients, introduce yourself and get to know the patient before beginning the medical history.
- After asking your patient a question, stop, listen and don't interrupt.
- Stay away from jargon and words patients might not understand.
