One medical passport driver#
Inpatient surgeries are asked to have their driver arrive at the hospital no later than 11 AM the day of discharge. If you are having outpatient surgery (going home the same day as surgery), you MUST have a responsible adult available to drive you home by the time discharge is anticipated. We highly encourage you to ask any questions throughout the perioperative stay if anything is not clearly communicated to you. Immediately before surgery, you will meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss your anesthesia care. This process may seem repetitive, but it is a safety check and must be done by all medical/nursing staff caring for you on the day of surgery. The nurse will review all your medical information entered by PSP (this includes medical/surgical history, all medications, allergies, planned surgery, site of surgery, etc.). All other visitors can wait in the Waiting Room, located on 2R. This bracelet must be worn until discharge from the hospital.Īfter completing the Admission process, you will be escorted to the Pre-Op Department on the 3rd floor, where the Pre-Op RNs will get you ready for surgery. Admissions staff will have you verify personal identification information and place a hospital name bracelet on your wrist. Report to Admissions, located off the main hospital lobby, to register. If you are planning to go home the day of surgery, we do request that you/your significant other bring some form of payment (cash, credit card, etc.) to purchase discharge prescriptions at the outpatient pharmacy. Please bring your insurance card and ID with you along with a form of payment if a co-pay is required.
