Patient Rooms and Privacy
To assure privacy for each patient in a two-person room, visitors are not allowed to spend the night in semi-private rooms. Additionally, there are times when visitors will be asked to leave the room when the other patient is receiving care.
Your name may appear on a census board at the nursing desk to assist all of your care givers as they organize your care. If you wish your name not to appear on this board, your room door or other areas, please inform the nursing staff. The omission of your name will in no way compromise your care. Likewise, if for any reason you wish your admission as a patient at Scott & White not to be made known should you receive telephone calls or inquiries, please tell the nursing staff who will notify the hospital telephone operator.
Student Involvement
Scott & White is a teaching institution. On occasion, care may be provided by students because they are in an approved education program. A Scott & White staff member will always be involved in all aspects of care in addition to student care given.
