Read about the patient experience elements of a partnership between Tampa General Hospital and Special Care Unit to wean patients off ventilators in the Progressive Care Unit at the hospital. The Progressive Care Unit provides an exceptional patient experience for patients and their family members, with multiple daily opportunities for rehabilitation efforts. The patient experience at the Progressive Care Unit includes an intensive level of rehabilitation that is not common at acute-care hospitals—every patient interaction is viewed as a rehabilitation opportunity.
The patient experience is enhanced by having staff consistency, with nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and case managers assigned to work only in the Progressive Care Unit.
