As
critical as the medical team and its cadre of talent is, the hospital
would not be rated as high as it is by the independent rating agencies if
our "behind the scenes" professionals did not stand up to scrutiny and pass
with flying colors. These areas include patient safety, medical
records and the part you do see... our talented and caring admissions
people.
When you
come in for a test, or to be admitted for a more serious illness, the
first people you meet are the admissions staff. They take your
information, process everything, and enter it into our records so that
your file is accurate, complete, and will stand the test of our health
insurance partners. They do this in record time and the get you on
your way to your next step. Many of you have written to us about how
easily this process goes and we are happy for that experience.
Of
course, patient safety is paramount in our thinking. We take great
care to assure that everything we do has checks and balances and that
our long-proven safety procedures are followed and every protocol is
adhered to. The same applies to your medical records which must
maintain the delicate balance of providing the necessary details so
that doctors and nurses who must review them can glean the information
they need with a very critical eye toward strict confidentiality. In
most cases, we will provide your medical records faster than large
city hospitals and usually at no charge. There are rules we must
follow and we take this responsibility seriously.
