Seven Rivers Visitor Information
Current Visitor Guidelines
Bravera Health Seven Rivers will be making some changes to our visitation policy effective Friday, 8/13/21, due to the surge of COVID-19 cases in the community. In order to ensure the safety of our patients, visitors and our healthcare team, these changes are necessary until we see a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases presenting at our hospital. Our patient care philosophy depends greatly on engaging families to be part of the healing process, so at this time we will allow visitors only on a limited basis.
Effective Friday 8/13/2021, the following visitation policy will be in place for Bravera Health Seven Rivers:
- Visiting hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 7 days per week.
- All visitors must enter through the front lobby entrance, where they will be asked a series of questions to be screened for COVID-19. All visitors must be screened before entering the building at this screening area.
- In order to continue to provide a safe environment, it is mandatory that a face mask be worn the entire time visitors are in the facility.
- Each patient admitted to the hospital will be allowed only one visitor per day and that person must be the same person during that day’s visiting hours.
- Obstetric patients may have one birth coach or care partner. The birth coach or care partner should remain the same person the entire stay. No other visitors will be allowed.
- Visitation in our intensive care unit will have further restrictions due to limited capacity to accommodate visitors. No visitors will be allowed in the intensive care unit without clearance from the director of the ICU or charge nurse and this will be on a case by case basis. Patients approved for visitation will be allowed only one visitor per day.
- Emergency room patients are allowed one visitor in the treatment room once the patient is stabilized. The physician or charge nurse in the emergency room may restrict visitation for any patient based on the patient condition or available space in the emergency department. If the emergency room patient is admitted, the visitor will follow the inpatient visitation rules that apply above.
- All visitors will be provided a laminated visitor pass that must be returned to the main lobby when they leave.
- Patients with visitor restrictions, such as on isolation precautions, will be allowed a visitor when their condition improves. Visitation will be restricted for all patients testing positive for COVID-19.
- Visitors must be at least 18 years or older unless they are the parent of a minor child.
We are committed to providing our community with quality medical services. You can count on us to maintain a safe environment of care in these unprecedented times. Our hospital and caregivers practice infection prevention every day, including wearing face masks and other personal protective equipment, washing hands before and after caring for each patient, and through processes designed to keep all who enter the facility safe. Cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and care-giving spaces has been intensified.
Patient Pass Code
Patients receive a pass code during registration. This code serves as authorization to disclose health information for purposes such as communicating results, findings and care decisions to family members and friends who are in possession of the pass code. It is the patient’s responsibility to provide the pass code only to the people he/she wishes to have that information disclosed to. The family member or friend seeking information will need to provide the pass code to the hospital employee in order to receive any information about the patient other than general condition. Pass codes cannot be used after discharge to obtain test results.
