Patient Privacy
At Atrium Health Floyd, we maintain the privacy of all our patients. When a loved one is in ICU, the family will be asked to appoint one contact person who will receive patient updates. The main point of contact will provide a password that must be used to receive information by phone. Without the password, nursing staff will not share updates with a caller.
The appointed contact person should also provide the nurse with cell and/or home phone numbers so they can be reached for questions, concerns and updates from the medical team.
