The Department of Surgical Services at Bartow Regional Medical Center encompasses five areas of service to the Surgical Customer. After registering with the Surgery department scheduler, the customer will be given an appointment to see the Preoperative nurse specialist. This appointment is scheduled 2 - 4 days prior to the scheduled procedure. The Preoperative nurse specialist will assist the customer in performing the necessary testing, and assessments ordered by the customer’s physician. The customer will then be informed of all expectations regarding time of arrival, pre surgery prep, and post procedure education.
On the day of the procedure, the Customer will report to the admitting office for proper identification, and final registration. They will then be escorted to the Same Day Surgery Unit. The Staff of the Same Day Care Unit will prepare the patient for the procedure. The patient will assist the staff with identifying their name, procedure, and physician, and will mark their “site” in accordance to the National Patient Safety Goals.
Once identified, marked and prepared for the procedure, the Registered Nurse that will accompany the customer to the Operating Suite will transport the patient to the holding area. The Anesthesia provider will interview the customer, and the customer will be taken to the Operating Suite.
Immediately after the procedure, the customer will be transferred to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit In this area, your pain will be managed, and you will be monitored to assure safe recovery from the Anesthesia medications. If the customer is scheduled to be discharged home, they will be returned to the Same Day Care area for final instructions and discharge.
