Staying at the Hospital

If you're staying at the hospital for a procedure or operation, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. 

Checking In

During the admission process, we will review your:

• Current medicines
• Allergies
• Medical history
• Special needs
• Belongings, listing what you've brought or storing them in a safe
• What at-home services or equipment you may need when you go home

Your ID Band & Safety

For your safety, you will also receive an ID band to wear on your wrist during admission. To ensure your safety, we will also:

• Confirm your name and date of birth before performing procedures or giving you medicines
• Use a computer scanner to decrease healthcare errors
• Put a red wristband on if you have allergies (including latex) 
• Give you a yellow wristband if you are at risk for falling
