YOUR STAY
pg 7
Accommodations
Palmetto Health Tuomey makes every effort to honor your choice of accommodations, depending on room
availability at the time of your admission. Please understand that because of emergency admissions and other
situations, it may not be possible to meet your room request immediately. In that event, we will strive to provide your
room as soon as possible.
Advance Directives (LIVING WILL, HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY )
In compliance with the Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990, Palmetto Health Tuomey is required to ask all adult
patients if they have an advance directive, such as a living will, health care power of attorney or psychiatric advance
directive. Advance directives are documents that allow you to provide instructions in advance regarding the kind of
care you want should you become unable to communicate your wishes to your caregivers. If you have an advance
directive, you will be asked to provide the original document so that it can be copied and placed in your medical
chart. If you do not have an advance directive and need one while in the hospital, Patient Relations can help you.
Call extension 9791.
Patient Director
Palmetto Health Tuomey maintains a daily listing (directory) of all patients who are admitted or receive services
on an outpatient basis. You have the right to choose to be included in or excluded from our Tuomey directory.
The directory is a listing that we use when family, friends and visitors ask about your location, room number or
telephone number.
If you choose not to be included in our directory, we will tell anyone who asks, including family, that we do not
have any information on that individual. You have the right to change the information listed in the directory at any
time. You may request to be included in our directory by speaking with an Admissions representative.
MyHealth-Hospital
MyHealth is a secure and easy-to-use online patient portal that allows you to view your personal health information,
including your lab and test results. When you are registered to be admitted at one of our hospitals, you will be asked
to provide an email address. If you have provided one, you will receive an email within 24-48 hours welcoming
you to MyHealth. Just click on the link within the email to join MyHealth. For questions, call 803-296-3430 or visit
PalmettoHealth.org/MyHealth.
Patient Satisfaction Survey
Palmetto Health randomly surveys patients for feedback to help improve its services. If you receive a phone survey,
please take the time to answer the questions asked of you by the interviewer. Your comments are important to us.
YOUR ROOM

Valuables/Personal Items
Please protect your personal property – including laptop and tablet computers, mobile phones, jewelry, wallets, purses,
eyeglasses, hearing aids and other items – while visiting Palmetto Health Tuomey. Please leave valuables at home or
arrange to send them home for safekeeping. Palmetto Health is not responsible for loss or damage to your belongings.
Although hospital gowns will be provided, you may wish to bring a bathrobe, slippers, toiletries and other necessities
from home. If you wear dentures and/or contact lenses, please ask your nurse to note that on your chart and give you
containers for safekeeping. If you remove your dentures, it is extremely important that they be kept in the denture
container to avoid losing them. If you wear eyeglasses or a hearing aid, your nurse can put them in a safe place
when you’re not wearing them.
Nurse Call Button/Bed Control
The nurse call button is located on your bed rail and in a handset. To call a nurse, press the button marked “Nurse,” then
release. A nurse will be with you shortly. If you are unable to press the button, other devices may be available for your
use. Please notify your nurse if another device is needed. Your nurse can show you how to use the control. In addition,
there is an emergency call button in every bathroom.
Fall Prevention
Unfortunately, it still is not uncommon for patients to experience a fall while in the hospital. While most falls do not
have a significant impact on outcome, they can result in increased pain, longer length of time in the hospital and
complications in your condition. Falls do not always occur because you are careless.
•B
e sure to tell your doctor and nurses if you have experienced a fall within the last few months. This will be important
for them to know as they work to develop your plan of care.
•H
aving surgery or being in bed for a longer than normal period of time can lead to weakness and being unsteady on
your feet. When getting out of bed for the first time, always ask for assistance. Continue to ask for assistance as long
as you feel uncertain about your ability to manage on your own.
• Avoid bending over to pick up items.
• Always have personal items, along with the television remote and the call button, within easy reach of your bed.
• Inform your nurse of any dizziness or lightheadedness when you change positions (lying, sitting or standing).
• Wear skid-proof slippers.
• Try not to delay the urge to go to the bathroom. Request help, if needed, when you begin to feel the need to go.
Delays may create more of an “emergency” situation and contribute to a fall.
• I f you need a walker, cane or crutches, familiarize yourself with the proper and safe way to use them. Your nurse or
physical therapist can help with this.
YOUR ROOM

lights by 10 p.m., and your room door will be closed unless otherwise requested.

tobacco-free policy.
FINANCIAL
ARRANGEMENTS
Thank you for choosing Palmetto Health for your health care needs.
pg 10
YOUR HOSPITAL BILL
Your bill reflects all of the services you receive during
your stay. Charges fall into two categories:
• A basic daily rate that includes your hospital room,
meals, nursing care, housekeeping and general
upkeep costs.
• Charges for specific services that include items your
physician orders for you including medications,
anesthesia, oxygen, special treatments, dressings and
X-rays or laboratory tests.
All of the services reflected as charges on your bill were
ordered by your doctor(s) for specific reasons.
In addition to your hospital bill, you will receive bills
from doctors who independently bill for their services.
These bills will be for doctors who directly cared for you
as well as doctors you did not see in person. These bills
are for professional services rendered by these doctors
in diagnosing and interpreting test results while you
were a patient. Pathologists, radiologists, cardiologists,
anesthesiologists and other specialists perform these
services and are required to submit separate bills. If you
have questions about these bills, please call the number
printed on the statement(s) you receive from them.
BILLING PROCESS
Several days after your hospital stay, we will finalize your
bill and send you a patient-friendly billing statement,
outlining the total charges for your stay and asking you
to confirm the accuracy of the insurance information
listed. Patients should be engaged in the financial
obligation for their care.
If you have insurance, we will file the claim with your
insurance carrier. We will not contact you again until
after your insurance company has paid and there is a
patient balance or we need additional information from
you to process the insurance claim.
If you do not have insurance, contact us to make
appropriate arrangements for your bill. (See Insurance
section.)
INSURANCE
Patients will be treated fairly and with respect during
and after their treatment regardless of the source of
payment for the services they receive or the insurance
coverage they have.
All individuals who are eligible for insurance (including
Medicaid, Medicare, Health Insurance Marketplace or
employer coverage) are required to obtain coverage in
accordance with the Affordable Care Act.
In order to determine if you are potentially eligible for
reimbursement by your insurance carrier, please contact
Patient Financial Services at 803-774-8910.
• Patients who carry health care insurance should
remember that services are rendered and charged to
the patient and not to the insurance company.
• A claim is filed with your insurance company for the
total charges.
• We expect payment from your insurance company
within 30 days of billing. If they have not paid by
then, please follow up with them. We cannot accept
responsibility for negotiating a settlement on a claim.
• You will be personally responsible for covering all
charges not covered by insurance, including but not
limited to co-pays, deductibles and non-covered
charges.
• If you have questions about the status of your claim,
we will be happy to assist you. Call us at 803-774-8910,
Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

uninsured/underinsured patients. This includes help in
understanding and applying for local, state and federal
health care programs such as Medicaid.

HAND HYGIENE
Part of Palmetto Health Tuomey’s commitment to provide high quality patient care includes protecting patients from
getting an infection while in the hospital. One of the best ways to prevent the spread of infection is to kill the germs that
may be on the hands of people who are caring for you or visiting you in the hospital. This is called Hand Hygiene.
Please take an active role in your care. Whenever caregivers come into your room to examine, treat, test or touch you, you may
ask if they have washed or disinfected their hands before entering your room. Also, please ask your family and friends to wash
their hands using the waterless soap located on the wall in your room before visiting you and when they leave your room.
Flu Shots
Influenza (flu) is a contagious disease that can be spread by coughing, sneezing or nasal secretions. Anyone can get
the flu, but infection rates are highest among children. Symptoms include fever and/or chills, sore throat, cough,
muscle aches, headache, runny or stuffy nose and fatigue. Children, people 65 and older, pregnant women and people
with certain health conditions such as heart, lung or kidney disease or a compromised immune system can get much

Volunteers
Palmetto Health is fortunate to have a large group of capable, caring and loyal volunteers. The presence of volunteers
within a hospital adds a dimension of warmth and personal touch to what often is a stressful time for patients, family
members and visitors.
Volunteer Services Department
Palmetto Health Tuomey’s Volunteers provide non-nursing support services. These volunteers give personal attention
and perform supplemental responsibilities in a variety of areas in our hospital including Registration Guides,
Information/Greeters, Gift Shop, Intensive Care and Surgery waiting rooms, Day Surgery/Recovery, creative services,
Pet Therapy and much more. For more information, please call 803-774-8658.
Pet Therapy
The Tuomey Pet Therapy program began in the summer of 2008 with the purpose to bring cheer and encouragement
to hospitalized patients: It met with stunning and immediate success. Patients eagerly await their visits from trained
therapy dogs, who come to the hospital three days a week and see an average of 25-30 patients on specific units. Pet
Therapy has been shown to provide stimulation and muscle coordination for stroke patients, help improve speech,
lower pain and blood pressure, promote healing and facilitate exercise. For more information, please dial 8658.
Music Mission
The Sounds of Grace is a music ministry designed to bring peace and healing by placing musicians in healthcare and
hospice facilities. These instrumentalists play at a patient’s bedside upon request or in a larger area where family,
caregivers and clinical staff may gather, creating a respite that allows for restorative healing. Music has been proven
to lower a person’s blood pressure, decrease stress hormone levels and release endorphins, the body’s natural painfighters. Music can calm a patient or family member, giving them a respite from pain and worry. Would you like our
volunteer harpist to come play for you? Contact Volunteers at 8658.
VISITOR
INFORMATION
pg 18
Patient-Centered Visitation
Palmetto Health Tuomey welcomes visitors and realizes the essential role they play in a patient’s recovery. We want your
family members and visitors to visit at times convenient to their schedules. We have no “posted” visiting hours, but some
general guidelines are in place and are listed on p. 26. Your sensitivity and cooperation with these guidelines is greatly
appreciated. Although we are confident our team members will provide the very best care for your loved one, should
you have any concerns or requests, please ask to speak with the unit charge nurse, who is available every shift. Unit
managers and Patient Relations liaisons also are available to assist you. For the comfort of our patients, we ask that all
visitors observe the following:
• In order to give patients an opportunity to enjoy each
visitor, we ask that there be only two visitors at a time. We
may ask that visits be time limited if the patient is sleeping.
• Patients can choose to approve visitors who are integral
to providing the emotional and social support they
need or desire.
•P
lease do not visit if you are sick (e.g., sneezing,
coughing, fever).
• Visitation may be delayed or guests may be asked to
vacate the entire unit if there is an emergency or a
medical procedure in progress. We will allow visitors
into the unit as soon as the environment is stabilized.
•C
hildren must be accompanied by an adult other than
the patient. Visits by children of any age should always
be coordinated with the patient’s primary nurse and the
patient/patient’s spokesperson before the visit. For their
own safety, please do not leave children unattended.
• We have provided hand sanitizer throughout the
hospital to protect you and your loved ones from the
spread of infection. Rub your hands with hand sanitizer
for at least 15 seconds until dry before entering and
when leaving a patient’s room.
•P
lease keep your cell phones on “vibrate” while visiting.
• While visiting a patient, remain inside that patient’s
room. Please do not enter other rooms or work stations
in search of team members or physicians.
•B
ecause of space limitations and the patient’s
condition, staying with the patient overnight in the
room is not always possible. Please check with your
nurse regarding this option in your unit.
• I n order to promote patient healing and uninterrupted
sleep, we encourage visitors to leave and rest between
the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• If we need to discuss or provide care that requires
privacy for the patient, we will ask visitors to leave the
room.
• Visitation may be limited or prohibited if there is a
medical or legal reason.
• Visitors should not touch or adjust medical equipment
at any time.
•P
hysicians and team members will give condition updates,
but we are always bound by patient privacy laws. We ask
that there be one spokesperson who receives updates and
communicates information to other concerned parties.
• Visitors who are interfering with patient care or acting
disrespectfully will be required to leave.
• For your safety and security, Security Services officers
round on a routine basis throughout the hospital.

Parking
Parking is free for patients and visitors in the garage on the Palmetto Health Tuomey campus. Hospital security officers
are available to escort visitors to their cars in the Tuomey parking lots. Officers also can help with minor emergencies
like dead car batteries. For assistance, call Security at 803-774-9477 or 9499.
For Your Safety and Security
Palmetto Health Tuomey is deeply concerned with the safety and security of patients, team members and visitors.
The Security team strives to promote safe conditions and practices to protect people from personal threat, injury,
theft, loss or damage. You can have an important role in the safety and security of the hospital by telling the nursing
team immediately if you:
• F eel personally threatened or at risk of personal harm from circumstances such as criminal conduct, domestic abuse,
elder abuse or child abuse or abduction.
• Lose a personal possession. Every reasonable effort will be made to help you locate it.
•O
bserve an unsafe condition, such as spilled liquid, that could cause an accident. Also notify a team member
immediately if you witness an accident.
Rapid Response Team
Palmetto Health Tuomey offers a “Code White” Rapid Response Team for patients, families or visitors to call for
assistance if there is a noticeable change in the patient’s condition that needs immediate attention and you believe
the health care team is not recognizing or addressing the problem. If you see un-addressed signs such as:
•
Changes in the heart or breathing rate
•
A drop in blood pressure
•
Changes in urinary output (much more or much less)
•
A change in the level of consciousness of the patient,
please call the operator from your bedside phone. In most cases, once you describe the change to the operator, a
Code White will be activated and a team of specially trained medical professionals will arrive in your room to assess
the situation and provide critical care. The purpose of this team is to quickly check the condition of the patient and
provide help before there is a medical emergency such as a heart attack.
