Important Information for Your Stay
To further assist you during your time at Raleigh General Hospital, we have compiled some fast facts and essential information. This guide complements your tv guide raleigh by providing details about various services and policies in place to support you and your caregivers.
Support for Caregivers
We recognize the vital role caregivers play in patient well-being. We encourage patients to designate a key support person during their hospital stay. Whether you are the primary caregiver or part of a wider support network, your involvement is crucial to ensuring the safest and best care, both during and after the hospital stay.
Patient and Family-Centered Care: We are strong advocates for patient- and family-centered care, recognizing the family as an integral part of the patient’s health journey. Our aim is to foster partnerships between healthcare professionals, patients, and families, leading to improved outcomes and the delivery of safe, efficient, and effective care.
Preparing for Discharge: Caregivers can significantly contribute to a smooth transition after hospitalization by addressing these key questions before discharge:
- What are the next steps for medical care? (e.g., home care, rehabilitation facility, follow-up appointments). Assist your loved one in planning logistics such as finances, transportation, and scheduling.
- What medications are needed? Ensure understanding of dosages, timing, potential side effects, and prescription refills.
- What warning signs should I watch for? Document these symptoms and the appropriate contact information for medical assistance.
Remember, caregiver support is essential. Don’t hesitate to reach out to friends and family for assistance and explore resources like the National Alliance for Caregiving, Family Caregiver Alliance, and Caregiver Action Network.
