HPHA – Seaforth Site – Notice of Construction: Inpatient Unit and Emergency Department
The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) is excited to announce the construction schedule for the Seaforth Site Communication Station Refresh. Communication Stations function as a centralized work area that acts as the communication centre for both administrative and clinical tasks associated with patient care. Multiple members of the healthcare staff occupy this space and it also serves as a point of contact for both patients and visitors.
Work to create a new Communication Station will start on the Inpatient Unit on October 27, 2014 and will last approximately four weeks. Similar work to create a new communication station in the Emergency Department will start on November 3, 2014 and will last approximately ten weeks.
During construction patients and visitors to the Seaforth Site may notice the following:
- Increased noise
- Construction and infection control hoarding
- Reduced space within the Emergency Department
No disruption to services offered at the Seaforth Site is expected. The construction should be limited to normal daytime working hours, and everything possible will be done to limit inconvenience to patients and family members.
These renovations reflect HPHA’s commitment to providing collaborative care that is patient and family focused. The improved design of these stations will support work flow processes, computerization, integration of technology, communication of caregivers and optimal patient outcomes.
