Fear is the father of courage
and the mother of safety.
What about your valuables?
See page 7 .
You’re in Charge
Stay Safe
You can contribute to health care safety.
While you are in the hospital, many people will en-
ter your room, from doctors and nurses to aides and
orderlies. The following information will help make
your hospital stay safe and comfortable.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask…
A number of people may enter your hospital room.
Be sure to:
n Ask for the ID of everyone who comes into
your room.
n Speak up if hospital staff don’t ask to check
your ID.
n Ask if the person has washed their hands
before they touch you.
n If you are told you need certain tests or
procedures, ask why you need them, when
they will happen, and how long it will be
before you get the results.
12
Errors can occur during
your hospital stay. They
can involve medications,
procedures or paperwork—
for example, being given
salt with a meal when you’re
on a salt-free diet,
or receiving someone
else’s medical forms.
You can help prevent errors
by taking charge of your
care. Be sure to:
n stay informed about your
medical condition
n know the details of your
treatment plan
n understand the tests
and procedures you will
undergo
Your doctor can answer
these questions. Take notes
when you speak with your
doctor, or have a trusted
friend or family member
take notes for you, so you
can refer to them later.
Also ask for any written
information your doctor
may be able to provide
about your condition and/
or treatments. Remember—
you’re in charge.
: www.stvin.org (505) 913-3361
Fighting Infections
While you’re in the hospital to get well, you should
know that there is the possibility of developing an
infection. The single most important thing you
can do to help prevent infections is to wash your
hands and make sure that everyone who touches
you—including your doctors and nurses—wash
their hands, too.
You, your family and friends should wash hands:
1. after touching objects or surfaces in
the hospital room
2. before eating
3. after using the restroom
Happy Birthday to You!
It is also important that your healthcare providers wash their hands with either soap and water
or with an alcohol-based hand cleaner every time,
both before and after they touch you. Healthcare
providers know to practice hand hygiene, but
sometimes they forget. You and your family should
not be afraid or embarrassed to speak up and ask
them to wash their hands.
Preventing Medication Errors
By taking part in your own care, you can help
the members of your health care team avoid
medication errors. Here’s how:
Be sure that all of your doctors know what
medications you have been taking, including
prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications,
herbal and vitamin supplements, natural remedies
and recreational drugs.
Be sure that all of your doctors know of any
allergies you may have—to medications,
anesthesia, foods, latex products, etc.
When you are brought medications or IV fluids,
ask the person to check to be sure you are the patient
who is supposed to receive the medications.
Show that person your ID bracelet to double-check.
Remember--you play an important role in helping
to reduce medication errors.
Wash your hands with soap
and warm water for 15 to
20 seconds. That’s about the
same amount of time that
it takes to sing the “Happy
Birthday” song twice.
No Soap? No Problem
Alcohol-based hand cleaners are as effective as soap
and water in killing germs.
To use, apply the cleaner to
the palm of your hand and
rub your hands together.
Keep rubbing over all the
surfaces of your fingers and
hands until they are dry.

Stay Safe continued
Patients of all ages are at risk of falls because
of medications that may make them dizzy, weak, or unsteady.
Know Your Meds
While you are hospitalized, your doctor may
prescribe medications for you. Be sure that you
understand exactly what they are and why they are
being prescribed. Use this checklist to help you get
the information you need from your doctor:
What is the name of the medicine?
What is its generic name?
Why am I taking this medicine?
What dose will I be taking?
How often, and for how long?
What are the possible side effects?
Can I take this medicine while taking my
other medications or dietary supplements?
Are there any foods, drinks or activities that
I should avoid while taking this medicine?
Use the Medication Tracker on page 32
to help you monitor your medications.
Preventing Falls
Patients often fall because they are on medications
that make them dizzy, they are weak and unsteady
due to illness or medical procedures, or because
they’ve been sitting or lying down for too long.
For your safety, please:
n Always call for assistance before getting
out of bed.
n Wear properly-fitting shoes with nonskid soles.
n Keep the call button within easy reach.
n Have necessary items within reach, such
as your glasses, tissues, the telephone,
and anything else you need.
n When you get assistance, rise slowly
from your bed or chair to prevent dizziness.
n Walk close to the wall and hold onto the
handrail while in the bathroom.

DVT:
Lower Your Risk
Deep-vein thrombosis
(DVT) occurs when blood
clots form in the legs and
block circulation. The clots
can lodge in the brain,
heart or lungs, causing
damage or even death.
When you’re hospitalized
and in bed with limited
physical activity, your risk
of DVT increases.
Ask your doctor about
using compression boots
or stockings and/or blood
thinners to prevent
DVT during your stay.
Tell your doctor or nurse
if you have any of the
following warning signs:
____________
A leg cramp or charley
horse that gets worse
____________
Swelling and discoloration
in your leg, upper arm
or neck
____________
Unexplained shortness
of breath
____________
Chest discomfort that gets
worse when you breathe
deeply or cough
____________
Light-headedness or
blacking out
What are Your Advance Directives?
Patient Services Advance Directives
You have the right to make decisions about your
own medical treatment. These decisions become
more difficult if, due to illness or a change in mental
condition, you are unable to tell your doctor and loved
ones what kind of health care treatments you want.
That is why it is important for you to make your wishes
known in advance.
Here is a brief description of each kind of directive:
Living Will. A set of instructions documenting your
wishes about life-sustaining medical care. It is used if
you become terminally ill, incapacitated, or unable to
communicate or make decisions. A living will protects your rights to accept or refuse medical care and
removes the burden for making decisions from your
family, friends and medical professionals.
Health Care Proxy. A person (agent) you appoint to
make your medical decisions if you are unable to do so.
Choose someone you know well and trust to represent
your preferences. Be sure to discuss this with the person
before naming them as your agent. Remember that an
agent may have to use their judgment in the event of a
medical decision for which your wishes aren’t known.
Durable Power of Attorney. For health care: A legal
document that names your health care proxy. Once
written, it should be signed, dated, witnessed,
notarized, copied and put into your medical record.
For finances: You may also want to appoint someone
to manage your financial affairs when you cannot. A
durable power of attorney for finances is a separate
legal document from the durable power of attorney for
health care. You may choose the same person for both,
or choose different people to represent you.
For more information about advance directives
or to obtain forms, please speak with your nurse.
What Are
Advance Directives?
A living will, health care
proxy and durable power
of attorney—are the legal
documents that allow
you to give direction to
medical personnel, family
and friends concerning
your future care when
you cannot speak for
yourself. You do not
need a lawyer in order
to complete advance
directives.
In the event of a
disagreement between
family members or other
caregivers concerning
your wishes regarding
life-sustaining treatment,
or other issues in
connection with your
Advance Directive, the
Bioethics Committee is
available to hear such
disputes. Contact the
Patient Advocate at
505-913-5326.
Your Advance Directive
is destroyed once you
are discharged from
the hospital. You must
create a new Advance
Directive each time you
are readmitted. In this
way, you ensure that the
hospital has your most
current information.

on page 22.
6 things to know before you walk out that hospital door.
When it’s time to be released from the hospital, your
physician will authorize a hospital discharge. This
doesn’t necessarily mean that you are completely
well—it only means that you no longer need
If You Disagree
You or a relative can appeal your doctor’s discharge decision. If you are a Medicare patient, be
sure you are given “An Important Message from
Medicare” from the hospital’s discharge planner or
caseworker. This details your rights to remain in the
hospital for care and provides information on who
to contact to appeal a discharge decision.
hospital services. If you
disagree, you or your
caregiver can appeal
the decision (see If You
Disagree, at left).
On the other hand, you
may be pleased to learn
that your doctor has
approved your discharge.
But before you can leave
the hospital, there are
several things that you
or your caregiver must
attend to.
The first step is to know
who will be involved in
your discharge process.
This starts with the
hospital’s discharge
planner, who may be a
nurse, social worker or
administrator, or may
have some other title.
You and your caregiver
should meet this person
relatively early in your
hospital stay; if not, find
out who this person is
and be sure to meet with
them well before your
expected discharge date.
www.stvin.org (505) 913-3361 :
19
Don’t Leave Until… continued
Make sure you have the following
information before you leave
the hospital:
1. Discharge summary. This is an overview of why you were in the hospital,
which health care professionals saw
you, what procedures were done, and
what medications were prescribed.
Be sure to meet with the hospital’s
discharge planner early in your stay to
ensure a smooth discharge process later on.
2. Medications list. This is a listing of
what medications you are taking, why,
in what dosage, and who prescribed
them. (You’ll already have this if you
use the My Medications form on page
32 to keep track while you’re in the
hospital.) But also having a list prepared
by the hospital is a good way to doublecheck the information.
n Any other home-care instruction
3. Rx. A prescription for any medications you need, and a supply of medications for several days to give you time
toget the prescription(s) filled.
5. Other services. When you leave the
hospital, you may need to spend time
in a rehabilitation facility, nursing
home, or other institution. Or you
may need to schedule tests at an
imaging center, have treatments at
a cancer center, or have in-home
therapy. Be sure speak with your nurse
or physician to get all the
details you need before you leave.
4. Follow-up care instructions.
Make sure you have paperwork that
tells you:
nWhat, if any, dietary restrictions
you need to follow and for how long
n What kinds of activities you can
and can’t do, and for how long
n How to properly care for any
injury or incisions you may have
n What follow-up tests you may need
and when you need to
schedule them
n What medicines you must
take, why, and for how long
n When you need to see your physician
20
for your caregiver, such as how to
get you in and out of bed, how
to use and monitor any equipment,
and what signs and symptoms
to watch out for
n Telephone numbers to call if you
or your caregiver has any questions
pertaining to your after-hospital care
6. Community resources. You and your
caregiver may feel unprepared for what
will happen after your discharge. Make
sure your discharge planner provides
you with information about local
resources, such as agencies that can
provide services like transportation,
equipment, home care and respite care,
and agencies that can help with patient
care and respite care.

Home Health Care
Part-time health care provided by
medical professionals in a patient’s
home to maintain or restore health.
It includes a wide range of skilled
and non-skilled services, including
part-time nursing care, therapy,
and assistance with daily activities
and homemaker services, such as
cleaning and meal preparation.
Medicare defines home health care as
intermittent, physician-ordered medical services or treatment.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
Medical equipment that is ordered by
a doctor for use in a patient’s home.
Examples are walkers, crutches, wheelchairs and hospital beds. DME is paid
for under both Medicare Part B and
Part A for home health services.
Independent Living
Communities for seniors who are very
independent and have few medical
problems. Residents live in private
apartments. Meals, housekeeping,
maintenance and social outings and
events are provided.
Assisted Living
An apartment in a long-term care
facility for elderly or disabled people
who can no longer live on their own
but who don’t need a high level of
care. Assisted-living facilities provide
assistance with medications, meals
in a cafeteria or restaurant-like
setting, and housekeeping services.
Nursing staff is on site. Most facilities
have social activities and provide
transportation to doctors’
appointments, shopping, etc.
Nursing Home
A residential facility for people with
chronic illness or disability, particularly elderly people who need assistance
for most or all of their daily living
activities such as bathing, dressing and
toileting. Nursing homes provide 24hour skilled care, and are also called
convalescent homes or long-term
care facilities. Many nursing homes
also provide short-term rehabilitative
stays for patients recovering from an
injury or illness. Some facilities also
have a separate unit for residents with
Alzheimer’s disease or memory loss.
Hospice
A licensed or certified program that
provides care for people who are
terminally ill and for their families.
Hospice care can be provided at home,
in a hospice or other freestanding facility or within a hospital. Also referred
to as “palliative” care, hospice care emphasizes the management of pain and
discomfort and addresses the physical,
spiritual, emotional, psychological,
financial, and legal needs of the patient
and his or her family.
Respite Care provides a temporary break for caregivers.
Patients spend time in programs such as adult daycare or in week-long
or month-long stays in a care facility.

Preparing for Discharge
A case manager is
available to help you
plan your discharge. If
you would like assistance
with this please ask your
nurse to have the case
manager see you.
When You
Are Discharged
Your physician
determines when you are
ready to be discharged.
Your physician and nurse
will give you discharge
instructions and answer
any questions you
have about managing
your treatment and
medications once you
are home. If you are
confused or unsure about
what you need to do,
what medications you
must take, or if you have
to restrict your diet or
activities, don’t be afraid
to ask and take notes.
Be sure you understand
any instructions you
have been given before
you leave the hospital.
Going Home
When your doctor feels that you are ready to
leave the hospital he or she will authorize a hospital
discharge. Please speak with your nurse about our
discharge procedures.
Here are few tips to make the discharge process
run smoothly:
n Be sure you and/or your caregiver have spoken with
a discharge planner and that you understand what
services you may need after leaving the hospital.
(See Don’t Leave Until… on page 19 for more
discharge advice.)
n Verify your discharge date and time with your nurse
or doctor.
n Have someone available to pick you up.
n Check your room, bathroom and bedside table carefully for any personal items.
n Make sure you or your caregiver has all necessary
paperwork for billing, referrals, prescriptions, etc.
Billing
At Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center,
we take a proactive approach to patient billing and
collections, with respect and professionalism at the forefront of our services. We expect payment at the time of
service, and we understand that billing and collection
for health care services can be confusing. Our admitting
and business office staff will work with you to answer
your billing questions, set up a payment plan, or qualify
you for one of the many options available.
Your Hospital Bill
As a routine practice, when appropriate, the hospital
attempts to collect all known patient expenses at the
time of service. Our initial request for payment will
include deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance amounts.
However, the amount of all charges may not be known
or available at the time of admission or discharge, and
it is possible that charges may be added to your bill
after discharge. Therefore, calculated coinsurance
22
: www.stvin.org (505) 913-3361
amounts are based on estimated charges. Any overpayment will be promptly refunded, and we will not
charge interest on the balance of your bill that remains
after your insurance provider has provided us with
their portion of the payment.
You may request an itemized copy of your bill within
one year of the date of your discharge from the hospital,
and it will be provided to you within 10 business days.
Physician Billing
Professional services provided to you by a physician
will be billed separately and apart from the fees
charged by the hospital. Please note that physicians
and other health care providers who provide services
at our facility may not be listed as participating
providers or contracted with the same third-party
payors as this hospital. This means their services may
not be covered by your medical insurance provider,
even if the hospital is in your network. If you receive a
bill from a physician and have questions, please call the
telephone number listed on that bill. Physicians that
may bill you separately include:
n Your personal physician
n Pathologists
n Emergency Department physicians
n Anesthesiologists
n Radiologists
n Hospitalists
Processing Your Bill
If you have current insurance coverage, our hospital
billing department will bill your insurance company
shortly after your visit. Your insurance company
should pay your hospital bill within 45 days. The
hospital may request your help in contacting your
insurance company if payment is delayed. There
may be times when your insurance company needs
additional information from you. Please respond as
soon as possible so payment is not delayed. You will
receive an explanation of benefits from your insurance
Discounts
CVSRMC will discount
bills for all uninsured
patients for medically
necessary services per
policy. Information
about this policy will
be provided at time
of registration and/
or during your visit.
After your bill has been
discounted, you will
be asked to pay the
remainder. If you are
unable to pay your bill,
we will work with you to
find a payment resource.
You will be referred to
a Financial Counselor
to obtain the proper
documents needed
to determine what
programs you
may qualify for.
We’re here for you!
Please contact us at

concerning your bill.

company when they have paid their portion. If there
are remaining balances that are your responsibility,
you will be receiving a statement from our extended
business office in Houston, Texas that is due upon
receipt of the bill.
Coordination of Benefits (COB)
Coordination of Benefits, referred to as COB, is a term
used by insurance companies when you are covered
under two or more insurance policies. This usually
happens when both husband and wife are listed on
each other’s insurance policies, or when both parents
carry their children on their individual policies, or
when there is eligibility under two federal programs.
This also can occur when you are involved in a motor
vehicle accident and have medical insurance and automobile insurance.
Most insurance companies have COB provisions
that determine who is the primary payer when medical
expenses are incurred. This prevents duplicate payments.
COB priority must be identified at admission in order to
comply with insurance guidelines. Your insurance may
request a completed COB form before paying a claim and
every attempt will be made to notify you if this occurs.
The hospital cannot provide this information to your
insurance company. You must resolve this issue with your
insurance carrier in order for the claim to be paid.
Medicare
This hospital is an approved Medicare provider. All
services billed to Medicare follow federal guidelines
and procedures. Medicare has a COB clause. At the
time of service you will be asked to answer questions
to help determine the primary insurance carrier paying
for your visit. This is referred to as an MSP Questionnaire and is required by federal law. Your assistance in
providing accurate information will allow us to bill the
correct insurance company.
Medicare deductibles and co-insurance are covered by your secondary insurance. If you do not have

secondary insurance you will be asked to pay these
amounts or establish a payment plan. If you are unable
to pay these amounts, we will help you determine if
you qualify for a state funded program.
Commercial Insurance
As a service to our customers, we will forward a claim
to your commercial insurance carrier based on the
information you provide at the time of registration.
It is very important for you to provide all related
information such as policy number, group number and
the correct mailing address for your insurance company.
For Self-Pay Patients
Patient Financial Services Department will send
statements for payment of self-pay accounts. You will
receive two to three billing statements and two to
three telephone calls over a 90-day period to obtain
a payment or to make payment arrangements. If
payment arrangements are not established and no payment is made during the 90-day period, the account
will be placed with a collection agency. If you need
an itemized statement, you can obtain one by calling
our customer service department at the number listed
below or by using the website at www.stvin.org. If you
have any questions regarding your billing statement,
you can contact the patient Financial Services
Department at 1-(505)-913-5220.

The St. Vincent Hospital Foundation
The St. Vincent Hopital Foundation was established
in 1980 by a group of community-focused individuals
to support Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical
Center in its mission of promoting the health and
well-being of people in Northern New Mexico. The
Foundation’s first major project was to raise $400,000
to help construct the Santa Fe Cancer Center at St.
Vincent Regional Medical Center, which opened
its doors in 1983. Eight years later, the Foundation
launched a $1.7 million Landmark Campaign, which
benefited the hospital’s Cancer Center and Emergency
Department. In 1997, the Foundation completed a $2.5
million campaign to renovate the Women’s Services
and Pediatric Units here at the hospital. In 2007,
the foundation completed its campaign to raise $4
million toward a $12 million Emergency Department
expansion and renovation.
The Foundation is committed to ensuring that
Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center
continues to be a viable health care resource for the
residents of the Santa Fe community and the Northern
New Mexico region. With the help of individual
contributions, business donations, grants and public
events, the Foundation can continue to offer assistance
to St. Vincent Regional Medical Center for capital
improvement projects, state-of-the-art medical
technologies and community programs.

Acceptance of Insurance
The hospital accepts most forms of health insurance

sufficient coverage limits to provide for payment of
your charges.
Co-payments and deductibles, which are common
in most insurance plans, are due upon admission.
Important Note: Many insurance companies
require prior notification of hospitalization. If prior
notification does not occur when it is required, your
insurance company may deny your claim. If you
disclose all of your insurance information, and provide
proof of coverage before you come into the hospital,
or no later than the time of admission, the hospital
will assist you in notifying your insurance company.
However, if you fail to disclose your insurance
information, or if you are late in disclosing your
insurance information, it may be too late for prior
notification and your claim could be denied. If your
claim is denied under these circumstances, you will be
held responsible for payment of your charges.
