The content on this page
The general medicine ward Y0 YLE treats and rehabilitates patients within the field of general medicine. The ward has a total of 25 patient beds. Patients come to the ward for treatment either via the emergency services or for follow-up care from, for example, other specialties. Treatment on the ward requires a doctor’s referral.
The aim of the ward is to help the patient live in their own home or in another suitable environment. The goal of care and rehabilitation on wards is always primarily that the patient can manage at home, or in another environment from which they have come to receive treatment or rehabilitation, either without services or with the help of various services.
The care on the ward is patient-oriented and rehabilitative. The ward also carries out overall evaluation of pharmacotherapy, i.e. monitoring of pharmacological treatment, evaluation of its effects and promotion of pharmacotherapeutic safety together with the ward’s pharmacist.
The ward cooperates with various actors in our region, e.g. with other specialities of specialized medical care, outpatient health care, social workers, hospital priests, ward pharmacists, the palliative outpatient clinic and home hospital, and with the cancer society. In addition, partners include Oulu University Hospital and other hospitals.
Visits
The general visiting hours on the ward are from 2 PM to 3 PM and from 6 PM to 7 PM. Other visiting times must be agreed on separately with the nursing staff.
The ward allows 2-3 visitors at a time. Please only visit if you are healthy. Visitors should take care of good hand hygiene.
We ask relatives/persons close to the patient to agree together on a contact person among themselves who will inform the others about how the patient is doing/about the patient’s situation. A discussion with a doctor concerning the care can be agreed on with the ward’s secretary.
Care fees
For short-term ward care, a daily fee is charged, and for long-term institutional care, a monthly fee based on the patient’s income.
