Please let hospital staff assist you.
restraints
Newberry County Memorial Hospital strives for a restraint-free environment that promotes and enhances the individual’s rights and dignity. Family or significant others provide valuable information regarding comfort and security measures for the patient. The best way to keep a patient out of a restraining device is to surround him or her with a person he or she knows and loves. We encourage families to visit as often as they can in limited numbers, and provide attention that has been known to calm the patient. Comfort measures are routine aspects of nursing care. These are situations in which restraints may be used: • Prevention of harm to self and others. • Safe completion of therapies or treatments. • Promotion of personal safety of the patient due to severe confusion. The staff at Newberry County Memorial Hospital attempts to use the least restrictive measures possible to maintain safety. In the event that a restraining device is considered necessary, a family member or significant other will be informed. The nurse may request that a family member or significant other assist in the relieving of anxiety and confusion by being present at the bedside. If the anxiety or confusion continues to present a safety concern, it may become necessary to implement a restraining device. Each patient’s situation is viewed individually, and restraining devices are removed as soon as safety risks are lessened. Patients are monitored and assessed frequently. Comfort measures are provided with position changes, fluids, toileting, food and circulatory checks on a scheduled basis. If you have questions or concerns, please discuss them with your nurse. For the safety of all guests, we ask that you not bring any electrical appliances such as stereos, hairdryers, personal computers or VCRs to the hospital. They may interfere with the safe operation of important medical equipment. If you must use an electrical appliance, please ask your nurse to contact the Maintenance Department to inspect it for safety.
electrical appliances
Your ID bracelet states your name, hospital number, physician’s name and other important information. It is necessary that you wear your bracelet at all times while you are a patient in the hospital. If your bracelet comes off, please notify your nurse. If you have an allergy, a red armband listing allergies should be placed on your arm, as well. A red armband is also placed on patients who are slated to or likely to receive blood or blood products.
ID bracelet 9

Advance directives are documents written in advance of serious illness. They state your choices about medical treatment or name someone to make choices about medical treatment if you become unable to make decisions. Through advance directives, such as living wills and a healthcare power of attorney, you can make legally binding decisions about future medical treatment.
advance directives
A living will is a document in which you can instruct your physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures if you are terminally ill, in a coma or in a persistent vegetative state with no reasonable likelihood of recovering. A living will must be signed, dated and witnessed. A lawyer is not needed to draw up a living will, although you may decide consultation with a lawyer is desirable. A living will goes into effect only when you can no longer make decisions. It remains in effect only as long as you cannot tell your doctor your wishes. You may revoke your living will at any time.
living will
A healthcare power of attorney is another kind of advance directive: a signed, dated and witnessed legal document in which you can name another person, an agent, to make medical decisions for you, if you become unable to make them. In a healthcare power of attorney, you can describe treatment you want and do not want. Also this form of advance directive can relate to any medical condition, such as Alzheimer’s disease, not just a terminal illness, coma or persistent vegetative state. A healthcare power of attorney can be written without the advice of a lawyer, although you may decide consultation with your attorney would be helpful.
healthcare power of attorney
You can receive a copy of a living will or a healthcare power of attorney from the South Carolina Ombudsman’s Office at (800) 391-1185 or locally at the Newberry County Council on Aging (803) 276-8266.
where can I get forms for advance directives
If you plan to sign the documents while receiving treatment at the hospital, you or your family members will be responsible for ensuring witnesses—other than hospital, nursing facility, home health agency or hospice program personnel—are present when you sign the documents.

We seek every opportunity to improve in all areas. You can help make NCMH a better hospital. Within several weeks of being discharged, you may receive a patient survey. We work with a national survey company that randomly selects patients to survey. If you receive one, please take the time to fill it out and send it back to us. If there is a problem, or if you have a suggestion, let us know about it. If we don’t know, we can’t fix it. On a positive note, if someone on our staff is particularly helpful in making your stay truly exceptional, please share his or her name. We want to thank our exceptional staff. If you want a personal call, do not hesitate to put your name and phone number. We will contact you promptly.

We know that your hospital stay may cause you and your family a certain amount of stress. It is our goal to assist you as best we can in the billing process so that your bill can be handled as soon as possible. We will work with you as a partner in your goal of meeting this financial obligation. Below is some important information that may assist you through this process. If you have insurance coverage, we request that you provide us with that information at the earliest point possible, usually during the preregistration or registration process. We will be pleased to accept your insurance assignments. This simply means that we will bill your insurance carrier as a courtesy to you. We will follow-up periodically with your carrier until a payment or denial has been processed. We also may need your help in this regard. Once payment or insurance denial has taken place, you can expect to receive letters or phone calls from us regarding your bill or patient portion. We do our best to provide informative messages and statements to you to make sure that you are kept aware of the current status of your bill. Please note that we often require your involvement in resolving matters with the insurance companies. If needed, we can provide you or your insurance company with a copy of your bill or other needed information that may assist the insurance company in resolving your bill.

The information in this section will tell you how Newberry County Memorial Hospital may use or share your electronic health information through SCHIEx and with whom it may be shared ABOUT SCHIEX SCHIEx makes it possible for your doctor to share your medical history, including medications, allergies, diagnosis and procedures, with other doctors and healthcare providers involved in your care.

By allowing your doctors and other healthcare providers to use and share your personal health information through SCHIEx: • Your doctor will have more information available to make a more informed healthcare decision at the time of your appointment.
• Your doctor may know better which tests or services you have already received, so you can avoid repeated or needless tests or services.
• Your doctors and other healthcare providers can better coordinate your healthcare. This can save you time and money by avoiding repeated or needless tests and doctor visits, paperwork or appointment delays.
• Your health information is available when and where it is needed, whether it is a routine office visit or in the event of an emergency. How Your Electronic Health Information May Be Used or Shared Your privacy and your personal health information are protected by federal and state law.

Your doctors and other healthcare providers will use and share your electronic health information with other doctors and healthcare providers involved in your care through SCHIEx EXCHANGE to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare and any related services. This includes coordinating your healthcare with other healthcare providers who have signed on as members of SCHIEx and agreed to follow all of the SCHIEx policies and procedures.
