DURING YOUR STAY UAB Medicine aims to exceed expectations in all aspects of your patient experience . Please ask questions and speak up to participate in your care . Important Points to Consider • Who will be my support person while in the hospital? • Did I tell my health care providers about all of the prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and vitamins or supplements that I take? • Do I know who is taking care of me (doctors, nurses, patient care technicians)? Write this information down in the My Workbook section . • Do I have what might help make me more comfortable? – Music player and earphones – Extra socks or pajamas – Pen and paper – Toiletries 6
