Appointments are not required but are preferred for patient s convenience. ADMISSION TO THE UNITS You will be escorted to your assigned unit by a representative of the nursing staff. Upon entering the unit there will be a confidential assessment of your belongings completed. You will have your vital signs taken and will be oriented to the unit. An RN will complete a confidential, thorough medical and psychological assessment. Once this assessment is complete, the RN will contact the psychiatrist and receive orders of your treatment. These orders generally consist of medication, lab work, diagnostic tests and dietary instructions. You will be checked on frequently during your stay here by the staff. This is to ensure your safety and wellbeing and to assess your response to medication. The Financial Counselor is available to provide information about payment options for those patients who are unable to pay in full at the time of discharge. The Financial Counselor can be reached at We contact your insurance company to verify your coverage prior to or soon after admission. Your bill shows the total charges and estimated insurance credit. You pay the portion of the bill not covered by insurance. You are expected to settle your account at discharge. St. Dominic Hospital accepts checks, cash and all major credit cards. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE ADMITTED St. Dominic s is a tobacco-free facility. Snacks are provided at certain times during the day. Patients rooms do not have phones or televisions. All rooms are private with a private bathroom. Bed linens and bath towels are provided. There are no passes given at the hospital. Patients are not allowed to leave the premises. Any appointments that are scheduled during your hospital stay will have to be rescheduled after your discharge. YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS Hearing and Language Services If you are hearing impaired or only speak a foreign language and need an interpreter, ask your nurse to contact the nursing supervisor. Pastoral Care Behavioral Health Services The chaplains and several pastoral associates provide pastoral services regardless of your religious preference.

PATIENT AND VISITOR GUIDE For infections to spread, germs must have a way to travel. The hands are a major means of spreading germs. Many germs can travel through the hands of health care workers and visitors. Germs do not always cause infection in every person they contact, but patients who are in the hospital are sometimes too weak to fight the infection. Good hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in preventing the spread of infection. Hand washing does make a difference in keeping infection under control. Alcohol foam is also a very effective method to clean your hands and can be used in place of hand washing. Hand hygiene is a habit that promotes good health for everyone. Ask your nurse if you have any questions. HAND WASHING PREVENTS THE SPREAD OF INFECTION Remove all jewelry Wet your hands with warm running water Add soap and lather well Scrub for at least seconds Get under nails, around cuticles and between fingers Rinse with hands angled down Dry hands with a clean paper towel or an air dryer Use a new towel to turn the faucet off CRITICAL TIMES TO WASH YOUR HANDS Before or after patient contact After contact with blood or other body fluids After you change a diaper Before you eat or handle food After you handle food that is not cooked After you handle money After you play with a pet After you visit the restroom After you blow your nose, sneeze or cough After you handle the garbage 2 3
4 ADVANCE DIRECTIVES What are advance directives, and why would I need them? Things to consider include the following: Is it important for me to be able to make my own decisions? Do I want to spare my family these difficult decisions? Is it important for me to die without prolonging my pain and suffering? Do I have religious beliefs that I want to be sure are followed? Do I want to prolong my life regardless of pain, my chances for recovery or regardless of financial burden? The Living Will THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF ADVANCE DIRECTIVES A Living Will consists of written directions that give your wishes regarding your health care should you have a terminal condition. It instructs health care professionals of what you would want if you are unable to tell them yourself. A living will takes effect while a person is alive. Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care This is a written document in which you have named another person to make the decisions for you if you were to become unable to answer for yourself. For example, if you are unconscious, brain damaged or terminally ill, the person named in this document will make decisions on your behalf as needed. After considering the above items, you should discuss them with your family, friends, physician, minister or religious representative and attorney. If you decide you need to have an advance directive, you will need to check your state laws, put your wishes in writing, and give a copy to your physician and to any health care facility where you receive care. If you would like to complete advance directives while you are in the hospital, ask the admission personnel or your nurse for the forms needed.

This is for your safety and the safety of our patients. CONFIDENTIALITY It is the goal of the staff at St. Dominic s Behavioral Health Services to protect every patient s confidentiality. This is accomplished by assigning each patient an ID number or code number that is used to identify the patient. This number is given at the time of admission to the patient. The patient must give the ID number to any family or friends they wish to call or visit. This number is also needed in order for someone to leave packages, clothing, etc. This ID number must accompany any deliveries from florists in order for the front desk to accept the delivery on behalf of the patient. Valuables St. Dominic s is not responsible for cash and valuables kept in your room, or left there when you go for tests, treatments or classes. Please send jewelry, extra clothing, cash and valuables home with a family member. Safety St. Dominic Hospital is a tobacco-free hospital. Tobacco products are not allowed in the hospital buildings or on hospital grounds. This includes electronic cigarettes. Medications Please tell your doctor or nurse about any medications that you are taking. Anything you take in the hospital must be ordered by our doctor and given by your nurse. Tobacco Cessation Information Quick Facts Cigarette Smoking: Smoking accounts for about percent of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It accounts for 30 percent of all heart disease deaths. Smoking is the major cause of cancer of the lips, tongue, salivary glands, mouth, larynx, esophagus and middle and lower pharynx. Smoking can also alter a number of hormones involved in the reproductive functions. Cigar Smoking: Even if you do not inhale, smoking cigars will give you a higher risk of emphysema, bronchitis and other lung diseases. Cigar smokers are four to 10 times more likely than nonsmokers to die from cancer of the mouth, larynx and esophagus. Lung cancer rates are four times higher for cigar smokers than for those who do not smoke. Electronic Cigarettes: Much remains unknown about the health risks of e-cigarettes, including whether or not they are safer than conventional cigarettes. There also isn t enough evidence to say definitively they re effective at helping people to quit smoking. Second Hand Smoke: Second hand smoke can be a hazard to other s health and especially to the health of children. It increases a nonsmoker s risk of lung cancer, heart disease, asthma, allergies, and bronchitis. In children, it can also contribute to middle ear problems and pneumonia. For smokers, remember to respect nonsmokers by politely not smoking around them. If you are a nonsmoker, remember, you have a right to say no! Tobacco Chew and Snuff: Chewing tobacco and snuff (also called smokeless tobacco) is addictive and can be harmful to your health. The chemicals in the tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth and throat. Smokeless tobacco can also cause gum recession, mouth sores, and stained teeth. Resources: The ACT Center provides free counseling and intervention supplies including nicotine supplements and medications. To contact the center (located at the Jackson Medical Mall), call Tobacco Quitline Mississippi provides free telephone counseling and information. The quitline can be accessed by calling
