patient and family guide
Welcome to KGH. This guidebook will provide you with the basic
information you will need during your stay in the hospital. You may also use the
folder provided along with this guidebook to help you keep track of anything you
receive during your stay. This may include information such as forms, prescriptions
or informational brochures.
Who we are:
Kingston General Hospital is a community of people dedicated to transforming the
patient and family experience through innovative and collaborative approaches
to care, knowledge and leadership. As southeastern Ontario’s leading centre
for complex-acute and specialty care, and home to the Cancer Centre of
Southeastern Ontario, KGH serves almost 500,000 people through its Kingston
facility and 24 regional affiliate and satellite sites. Fully affiliated with Queen’s
University, KGH is a research and teaching hospital which is home to 2,400 healthcare students and 175 health researchers. KGH is ranked as one of Canada’s Top 40

Partners in your care
By partnering with you and your family, we’ll work as a team to make sure you
have the best possible experience in the hospital. We believe that you and your
family are important members of our team and we want to make sure your voice is
heard. That’s why we include you in every decision about your care.
What you can expect during your stay
As a patient or family member, you will notice a few things that we do to make
sure that everyone who works, learns or volunteers at KGH will provide you with
the same high standard of care.
1. Whiteboards have been placed
in all patient rooms. These
boards will make it easy for you,
your family and the rest of your
care team to communicate with
one another. You should see a
whiteboard near your bed and
each section should be updated
on a regular basis.
2. Everyone who enters your
room will wear an ID badge at
chest level, with their name and
position, so you always know
who you are speaking with.
3. All KGH staff are being trained
in a patient- and family-centred
communications program that
helps us partner with you and
your family to ensure you receive
the respectful, compassionate care you need.
4. We will perform hourly rounds during your stay to ensure that you are seen by
a staff member at a minimum of every hour. We will check on your comfort and
safety and see that your call bell is within reach.

patient and family guide
Let’s talk
Good health care starts with good communication. We encourage you to ask
questions and let us know about your concerns.
Ask
• Before you meet with your doctor or health-care provider, it may be helpful
to write down all of the questions you want to ask. Feel free to ask lots of
questions until you feel like you understand everything. Consider questions
such as:
• What is my main problem?
• What do I need to do?
• Why is it important?
• What are my alternatives?
• If you are given medications, please feel free to ask questions of your care
team, such as:
• How will these medications help me?
• What are the possible side effects?
• How and when should I take this medicine?
• Are there special directions?
Listen
• Please don’t be shy. If you don’t understand something or if you miss anything,
ask for it to be repeated or explained until you feel that you do understand.
• If you feel like you’re getting a lot of information at once, ask a friend or family
member to be with you when you talk to your health-care team. They can help
listen and write down any important information for you. On page 15 of this
guide there is space for your notes.
Talk
• Make sure your health-care team knows about any symptoms you may have.
• Make sure your doctor knows your health and family history.
• If something doesn’t seem right, it’s important you tell a member of your
health-care team.
• It’s our responsibility to help protect your privacy. If you have specific
information that you don’t wish shared please speak with a member of your
care team to let them know.

KGH
While you’re here
To make sure that your time in hospital is as comfortable as possible, here is some
information that may be helpful:
Family presence and participation
We know how important family can be to your health and for that reason, your
loved ones can be with you any time you’d like. KGH no longer has specific visiting
hours, we are open to families 24/7. Whoever your family is, we welcome them and
see them as an important part of the healing process. If your family or friends can’t
be with you, volunteers are available to provide companionship. Some patient care
units have volunteers who can provide mealtime assistance. You may request a
volunteer by asking your care team or by calling KGH extension 2359.
Privacy
We protect your personal health information including your name, date-of-birth,
address, health history, records of your visits to hospitals and the care that you
received during those visits. For more information on privacy at KGH, visit our
website at www.kgh.on.ca

Informed Consent
There may be times when we ask for your consent before you start treatment or
care. Your consent must be voluntary. Before deciding to give your consent, here
are some questions you should ask:
1. What are the benefits, risks or side-effects?
2. Are there other treatment options?
3. What happens if I don’t consent to the treatment?
4. How do I ask for a second opinion?
Communication
Cell phones
Cell phones sometimes interfere with patient care equipment. For the safety of all
of our patients, please check with your care team before using your cell phone.
It’s safe to use your cell phone in any of our non-patient areas, including lobbies,
family lounges and cafeterias. When using your cell phone please be considerate
of other patients and their families.
Social Media
Websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are a great way to keep connected
with your family and friends. However, for the comfort and privacy of other
patients and staff, please don’t take or share pictures, videos or audio recordings
without their permission.
WiFi
Internet access is available in all areas of the hospital through a secure wireless
network. You do not need a password to access the wireless network.
Telephones
Every patient has access to a bed side telephone. For local outgoing calls, dial 9,
the area code and the telephone number. To call any number within KGH, dial the
four-digit extension. Long-distance calls can be made using a calling card. Calling
cards can be purchased in the gift shop located in the main lobby.
Research
Patient-oriented research is a hallmark of what we do at KGH. Since we are a
research hospital, you may be asked to participate in a research study. Please
remember, it is always your decision whether or not you want to participate. If you
are not interested in participating, please notify a member of your care team. If you
choose to not participate in a research study, this will in no way impact your care.

Washrooms
Please be aware that to prevent the spread of infections and to keep you safe, the
washroom in your room is for your use only. We have public washrooms on every
floor and in every department of the hospital and visitors and family members are
welcome to use any of them.
Patient Relations
Your feedback is important. If you have a concern, compliment, or comment we
want to know. While we encourage you to first speak directly with a member of
your care team or unit manager, you can also contact Patient Relations by phone
at 1-800-567-5722 extension 4158 or by email at [email protected].

Your Safety
Hand washing
The most important thing we can all do to prevent infection is to wash our hands
regularly. Feel free to ask everyone who enters your room to clean their hands if
you don’t see them do so.
Identification bands
You’ll receive an identification band when you arrive at
the hospital. Please keep your band on and let a member
of the care team know if it comes off, does not fit well or
becomes faded. Our staff members see many patients
throughout their shift, so to ensure your safety and that of
other patients we will check your ID band and ask about
your identity many times during your visit, for example,
before you receive medications and before tests and/or
procedures begin.
Medication
Sometimes your medications will change while you are in the hospital. We will
make sure to talk to you and your family about these changes. We will also speak
with you about your medications before you leave the hospital. Please ask if you
have any questions about your medications.

Falls
When you arrive at the hospital, we will assess you for
risk of falling as part of our fall prevention program.
However, if you feel like you need help getting around,
please ask our staff for help.
Scents & flowers
For the safety and comfort of those with allergies and
sensitivities, please respect that the hospital is scent
free and do not wear any scented products or keep
flowers with scents in your room.
Smoking
Please be aware that KGH is a smoke-free facility and smoking is not allowed
anywhere on hospital property. If you smoke, please speak with a member of your
care team about the smoking support alternatives that we have available for you
while you are in the hospital.
Lost belongings
You are encouraged to leave money and valuables at home. We know that you’ll
have personal items such as clothing, medications, and support aids with you
(for example, eyeglasses, contact lenses, dentures, hearing and mobility aids).
The hospital doesn’t assume responsibility for these items if they are damaged or
go missing. If you need to contact Lost and Found please call extension 4218.

Leaving the hospital
Discharge Planning
To make sure your stay goes smoothly, we will work with you and your family
to plan ahead for when it is time to leave the hospital. This plan includes an
estimated discharge date and follow up information. We will give you a discharge
summary of the care you received at KGH which will also be sent to your family
doctor.
We know that leaving the hospital may be stressful as there are many things to
keep in mind. To help, you can use the check-boxes on the next page to make
sure that nothing has been missed before you leave and that all your questions
have been answered. If you’ve checked anything in the ‘no’ column, please speak
to a member of your health-care team.
We recommend that patients have someone with them or pick them up when it is
time to leave the hospital. Discharge time is 10:00 a.m. each day. If you don’t have
a family member or friend who can drive you, there are a number of transportation
options available. For more information about these services, please speak to a
member of your care team. The hospital does not cover these transportation costs
and patients and families should be prepared to pay the transfer company any
transportation fee.
