Our patient profile ranges from a diabetic care patient to one who's just undergone an elective surgery. Our Medical Nursing Department, "1 East", is a 35-bed unit, offering exceptional care for the patients we serve. Our Surgical Nursing Department, "6 West", is a 22-bed unit, opened in January 2007 and dedicated to the care of post-op surgical patients, including bariatric lap band procedures and a new oncology service line.
At SPGH, we utilize complete computerized charting ("Electronic Health Record") for our patient assessment and care documentation. We also utilize eMAR, our electronic medication administration record for the delivery of all medications provided to our patients, which has significantly reduced errors associated when administering medications.
