1 2013 The Cardiology Service at the QEII
2 The Cardiology Service at the QEII We understand that this is a very anxious time for you and your family/friends. We hope the information in this pamphlet will make you feel more comfortable about your transfer to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre. One of our goals at the QEII is to provide cardiac patients with timely access to care. The Cardiology Service provides care to people from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and some people from New Brunswick. Patients are either admitted directly to one of the Cardiology units or admitted through a system called the 24 Hour Transfer service. The 24 hour transfer service is an effort to shorten the time cardiac patients wait to get care at the QEII. Your doctor has decided that you need the care of a cardiologist (heart doctor), and tests or procedures offered through Cardiology. Your doctor requested that you get this care at the QEII. The QEII will call when a bed is available, and you will be transferred. We will tell you at that time if you will be admitted to a Cardiology unit at the QEII, or if you are going to be a 24 hour transfer patient. After careful review of your transfer information, it is the responsibility of the cardiologist at the QEII to decide if you will be a 24 hour transfer or a direct admission. 1
3 24 Hour Transfer Service You will come to the QEII, have the dye test and if needed, an angioplasty (balloon procedure) and stent insertion at the time of the dye test. You will return to your local hospital the morning after your procedure. This 24 Hour Transfer is not appropriate for all patients. There are five 24 Hour Transfer beds located on Level 6 of the Halifax Infirmary. They are in the following units: Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) 6.1: (902) Cardiac Day Unit: (902) An ambulance will pick you up at your local hospital and you will arrive at the QEII by 11 am. A doctor will see you shortly after you arrive, and you will have the dye test before supper time. You will be taken back to your room at the QEII after the test. The day after the test, an ambulance will pick you up in the morning and take you back to your local hospital. In some cases, the results of the dye test may show that you need surgery. You may be kept at the QEII to wait for surgery or you may be sent back to your local hospital. The cardiologist at the QEII decides where you wait. 2
4 Direct admission to cardiology Some patients need further assessment and tests before or after having a dye test. Some patients need admission to the Cardiology service for reasons that don t require a dye test, but require the services of a cardiologist and other tests that are available at the QEII. They need to be admitted to the QEII for a longer period of time. You will come to the QEII by ambulance when a bed is available on the appropriate unit. Following your care at the QEII, you may be discharged home and require a family member or friend to pick you up at the QEII in Halifax. Please bring a change of clothes with you. Your plan of care will be coordinated and discussed with you after you are admitted at the QEII. What can you expect at the QEII? The team Members of a health care team will care for you. Members of the team are: Patient and family Some of the best medicine involes the care, love, and support of family. Please let us know if you have any concerns. Information will only be given to the immediate family or significant other. When staff members receive many phone calls, this can take the nurses away from the patients. We ask that you choose one family member to get and share information with others. This will help everyone in the family to receive the same information. 3
5 Nursing staff Our highly skilled and caring Registered Nurses (RNs) will care for you. Staff cardiologist A heart specialist (cardiologist) will direct your medical care. Resident doctors and clinical associates These doctors will assist the cardiologist with your care. They are available 24 hours a day. Patient Representative There is a patient representative available to patients and families who have concerns about any aspect of hospital care. They can be reached by phone at (902) Other Other team members may include: clergy, dietician, pharmacist, physiotherapist, respiratory therapists, research nurses, social workers, clinical nurse specialist, technicians, unit clerks, unit aides, and others as needed. Valuables We encourage you to leave all valuables at home. The hospital is not responsible for the loss of any item. If required, valuables may be locked in the hospital business office s safe. 4
6 Information for your family Halifax Infirmary Your family member is being transferred to the QEII - Halifax Infirmary Site.

Signs are posted to help people find the appropriate unit. There are information booths at the Robie Street and Summer Street entrances that can provide you with more information.

We request a limit of 2 visitors at a time. There is a quiet period between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. every afternoon. 5
7 Phone Patients in 6.1 IMCU and 6.2 can receive incoming phone calls. The patient switchboard phone number is (902) The bedside phone can be connected to make outgoing calls for a daily charge.
