Patient safety
At Mary Washington Healthcare, your safety is our priority. We strongly recommend you bring a list of all medications you are taking at home, whether prescription, over-the-counter medications, or nutritional or herbal supplements, whenever you visit our hospitals. To help you keep track of all your medications, consider using the universal medication form to list all your medications. Always keep an updated copy of this form with you and make sure you take it with you to all your medical appointments. Copies of this form can also be obtained from your physician.
It's OK to ask
As a patient, be an active participant in your healthcare team and help prevent the spread of infection. In fact, hand hygiene should be performed by everyone - even visitors. Remember, it's OK to ask. Every time hospital staff members or visitors enter your room, ask them to perform hand hygiene.
