Open doors ICU: more comfortable and humane ICU
The intensive care units at our Hospital Serena del Mar are designed to maintain the privacy, well-being and comfort of patients and their families, taking special care of their personal and emotional demands.
Before hospitalization, the patient and his family experience anguish and concern about the disease, as well as pain and fear, so when separating the patient from his family all these feelings increase, so in compliance with our philosophy of providing Person-Centered Care, intensive care units have open doors, that is, the patient can be accompanied 24/7 by a family member, relative and/or caregiver.
We recognize that the participation of the patient's family and/or social group is essential in the process of humanizing care and for this reason we encourage their presence during disease management and recovery.Each of our rooms has a space for family members to visit and participate in patient care, they have natural light, access to communications, noise control through sensors, among other strategies that promote sleep and decrease the risk of delirium.
We also investigate and detect the possible emotional, psychological, religious and/or spiritual needs of family members.
