Medical City Fort Worth- Ortho/Neuro Requirement

Hi HWS Team! In Partnership with our Medical City Fort Worth Ortho/Neuro Unit, please familiarize yourself with the assessment, performance and documentation requirements for post operative patients. 

• All post operative patients must ambulate within 4 hours after surgery
• Patients must be fitted for a brace.
• Neurovascular checks should be performed at 0400, 0800, 1200, 1600 and 2000.

Please also refer to the overview sheets with QR codes that are spread throughout the unit to assist you in remembering the required assessments, performance and documentation requirements for the unit. 

Thank you for your continued partnership in patient care and safety! We appreciate you!
