4 Welcome message Welcome to our hospital. We are committed to providing you with the best health care so you can return home as soon as possible, which we believe is the best place for recovering from illness and injury and managing long-lasting health problems. The goal of this handbook is to help you and your family feel more comfortable by explaining the details of your hospital stay. In this handbook we tell you where you can find important services, what you can expect while you are in the hospital, and other helpful information, like how you and your loved ones can be partners in your health care. All of our employees, physicians and volunteers work hard every day to show the values that are most important to us when we interact with our patients: Respect, Caring and Trust. We wish you a speedy recovery. 4 If English is your second language If you do not speak or understand English well enough to have medical conversations, we can get a medical interpreter in your language. The medical interpreter will help you communicate with your doctor and health care team. We can get the interpreter by phone or in person. Please be patient. It might take time. You do not pay for this. For informal conversations, your family and friends can help you explain what you need to your health care team.

8 Your stay Communicating with your care providers As a patient, it s important to be able to talk about your health with your care providers, to understand their advice, and to make decisions together that can support your health. We welcome and encourage you and your family to provide information, ask questions and be involved in your care while you are in the hospital. Tips for communicating with your care providers: Share a list of all your medications Repeat back what your provider says to ensure you understand correctly Ensure you understand next steps. This will help your recovery 8 Questions you may want to ask your care provider: What date am I expected to be sent home? Have you cleaned your hands? Can you tell me about my health problem? Why are you doing this test or treatment? What will happen to me during this test or treatment? How will I find out the results of my test? What is the name of the medication you are giving me? Why am I taking it? Does this medication have any side effects that I should know about? Does this medication replace anything I was taking at home?

For more information on our Preferred Accommodation Program room rates, search for Rooms on fraserhealth.ca or speak to your care provider.

Please tell your care provider as soon as you arrive if you have any food allergies or religious and cultural dietary needs, or follow a specialized diet.

14 advance, you can be sure that your family, friends and/or care providers know your wishes, and can ensure these wishes are followed. For more information, search Advance Care Planning on fraserhealth.ca or speak to your care provider. Your safety and security Preventing falls While you re in the hospital, illness, surgery and some medications can make you feel weak and may affect your balance or decisions. Also, medical equipment and the unfamiliar hospital environment can make it more difficult to move about easily. Ways you can reduce your risk of a fall while in hospital: Wear supportive walking shoes without high heels, or socks that have grips on the bottom (your care provider can give you a pair). Please do not wear slippers Use your eyeglasses, walker or cane at all times, and ask for it if it is not in reach Use a hip protector if recommended Do not rely on furniture to support you as it may be on wheels Use the handrails by the toilet and sink for support 14 Step-by-step guide for safely getting out of bed: If you need help to get out of bed, especially at night, use the button beside your bed, which is called a call bell. Please be patient and wait for help to arrive.

15 1. Turn on the lights over your bed 2. Slide yourself to the edge of your bed 3. Push up on your elbows and hands to sit up 4. Slide your hips and legs over the edge of the bed 5. Sit on the bed for a minute before you stand up. Standing up quickly or after being in bed for a long time can make you dizzy 6. Get your balance before you start to walk Clean hands Keeping hands clean is the best thing you, your care providers and your visitors can do to prevent infections. Clean your hands: Before and after eating After using the bathroom After sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose There are two ways to clean your hands: Alcohol rub if your hands are not visibly dirty Soap and water We are committed to proper hand hygiene, and you should see your care providers cleaning their hands before and after touching you or touching any object that comes in contact with you. Do not hesitate to remind your care provider to clean their hands if you are worried that they may have missed this important step. 15

16 Smoke, scent and latex balloon-free Smoke-free Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the hospital or on its grounds. Please speak to your nurse about a variety of supports to help you manage if you smoke. Scent-free In consideration of others who may be sensitive or allergic to scents, we ask that you and your visitors do not wear perfumes, colognes, hairspray or aftershave. Additionally, please do not bring in lilies or other scented flowers. Latex balloon-free Please do not bring latex balloons or other latex products into the hospital as some people may have serious allergic reactions to them. Valuables The safest place for your valuables is at home. Please ask a family member or someone close to you to take your valuables home for safekeeping.

19 We believe that home is best for recovering from illness and injury and managing long-lasting health problems. Returning home with the right supports in place gives you the best chance to regain your strength and independence. Home First Over the last three years, Home First has successfully demonstrated that frail at-risk seniors can remain at home longer with support following a transition from acute care. What is Home First? Targets hospitalized seniors who have been assessed at the residential care level but who have the potential to go home and wait for further assessment and/or placement Fast tracks patients to return home with the in-home care they need from home health services as well as other community providers, medical and nonmedical Monitors seniors at home to ensure they can manage their chronic conditions, avoid unnecessary ER visits and hospital readmissions, and remain at home longer. Why is Home First important? Reduces risks associated with hospitalization for frail older adults such as infections and further deconditioning Supports patients to remain at home as long as possible where they want to be Helps ensure hospital beds are accessible for other acutely ill patients 19

20 Helps ensure timely access to residential care beds for patients who can no longer be supported at home Supports Fraser Health s Home is Best philosophy Illustrates the shift towards a more community centric health care system that emphasizes wellness, prevention, and support in the home through community health services, physicians, nurse practitioners, clinics and non-government organizations Homes Health Service Line Instructions before you leave Your care providers will provide instructions and go over everything you need to know when you leave the hospital, including what to do in an emergency, keeping track of medications and, if you have had surgery, taking care of the healing area. Things to ask before you leave: Signs or symptoms you might expect What is normal What is cause for concern What you should do if you are concerned If you have to take medications that are new to you, ask your care provider to explain how to take them and how to stop taking them Any other questions, worries and needs you may have 20

21 Getting help at home If you need additional services such as rehabilitation or home nursing care, this will be arranged before you go home. Your care providers will work with you and your family to determine the best care options, making sure that: Everyone has the information they need to make decisions about lifestyle and care Services will support, but not replace, your efforts to care for yourself You have the right to make your own care decisions Services will promote your well-being, dignity and independence Medical equipment and supplies Our physical and occupational therapists can help you learn to use equipment designed to improve your safety at home.
