Patient safety is a priority at Choctaw Nation Healthcare Center. Everyday, our staff and physicians strive to provide our patients with the safest and highest quality care in a comfortable environment. We at Choctaw Nation Healthcare Center believe that our patients and their families should be active partners in their care.

Here are some ways patients can participate in the safety of their care:

Openly share your health history with your caregiver - Provide doctors and healthcare staff with a health history, any operations you have had, or any allergies you may have. This information helps us take better care of you.

Provide a medication list - It is very important that we know all of your current medications, including herbals or supplements, and the name, dose, route, and the date and time it was last taken. Please bring a current list, or a bag containing your medications, with you when you come to any of our facilities. When you leave our care, you should receive a complete list of medications that should be continued at home. If you do not receive this list, please tell your nurse so that it can be provided to you before you leave.

Don’t understand something about your care? Speak Up!

If you have questions or concerns about your condition or treatment options, please be sure to ask. Bring along a family member or friend that can listen, take notes, and help ask questions.

Verification of identity is required - Expect all caregivers to ask you your name and date of birth and check your wristband ID frequently. Proper patient identification is the first step in preventing medical errors.

Help reduce the risk of infections - Proper hand hygiene is the best way to reduce spreading infections. Please remind your caregivers to wash their hands before they care for you. Wash your own hands often and don’t touch any wound or IV site.

IVs, medical tubing, and treatment equipment are important to your care - While an inpatient, if any of your IVs, medical tubing, or treatment equipment becomes disconnected, call your nurse immediately. For safety reasons, patients and family members should not attempt to reconnect any IV or medical tubing.

Know how to care for yourself at home - You will receive written discharge instructions for medications, ongoing care, diet, activity, worsening signs/symptoms, and follow-up appointments. Be sure to review this with your nurse and ask any questions you may have.

We value your input!
