FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients are concerned on getting information about their health safety and diagnosis so as to live healthy and the problems associated with lack of information.

So at CFU Medical Centre we answer those questions that bother you as a patient so as to keep up with your health.

a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities, typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth.
Cerebral palsy is due to abnormal brain development, often before birth. Symptoms include exaggerated reflexes, floppy or rigid limbs and involuntary motions. These appear by early childhood. Long-term treatment includes physical and other therapies, drugs and sometimes surgery.

All medications ordered by your physician are provided by CFU Medical Centre and distributed by your nurse. Please speak with your nurse if you have any questions.

Since our goal is to return patients to the community, a discharge plan is developed for every patient admitted. Discharge plans vary with individual needs. Most patients are discharged home with home care services, to a day rehabilitation program or to outpatient services. Some individuals are discharged to a long-term care facility. Your treatment will ensure that your discharge plan is well coordinated to enable you to receive appropriate follow-up care.

Rehabilitation patients: Ongoing communication with your treatment team is an integral part of your rehabilitation program. Your case manager is your primary link. Each week there will be a Rehabilitation Team Review (RTR), an informational sharing session, which you are welcome to attend. If you are unable to attend, your case manager will speak with you to discuss your program. In addition, a family meeting may be scheduled soon after admission. Family meetings include your physiatrist, case manager, and other members of your treatment team.
Long-term patients: Our primary care coordinators (the VHTs, a registered nurse) and social workers are the key contacts on all units. Questions related to your medical condition should be directed to the VHTs. Other questions may be asked of the unit social worker. When needed, a family meeting can be arranged.

The amount that each patient will be responsible for (such as co-pays) will depend on the medical services actually provided to you during an outpatient visit and the terms of your health insurance plan. Facility charges are intended to cover the hospital’s operational expenses (such as equipment, medical supplies, and staff), and may be charged in addition to charges for your physician’s professional medical services. Depending on the services you received, the amount of your personal liability may have been lower if services were provided at a facility that is not owned or operated by a hospital.

We respect and treat your privacy seriously when handling confidential patient medical information. Our Notice of Privacy Practices describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed, and how you can request access to your records.
