Nevertheless, persons accompanying the patient may remain in the treatment area only in exceptional cases. The decision regarding this is made during triage, either by the treating physician or by the head of the nursing team.  \nWHY?  \nData protection and discretion: We safeguard the privacy and personal  \ninformation of all patients in our open-plan area.  \nA quiet environment for the diagnostic procedures: Our team needs to be  \ncompletely focused and work in a quiet environment to ensure accurate examinations.  \nSafety: In case of any emergencies, we need complete freedom of  \nmovement and unobstructed access to all medical equipment.  \nHygiene: In order to prevent infections, the number of people in our  \nemergency department must be kept to a minimum.  \nEXCEPTIONS (AT THE DISCRETION OF THE TEAM TREATING THE PATIENT)  Minors: One person accompanying one child/adolescent.  \n Language barriers or difficulties in communication:  \n Patients with dementia or special care needs, if communication about their treatment requires assistance.  \nIndividual decision: Any other medical or personal exceptional circumstances, subject to a decision on a by-case basis.  \n Patients who are nearing the end of their life  \nWe will inform you as soon as medically and organisationally possible.  \nThank you very much for your support and understanding! We understand and acknowledge that the situation is challenging for you as well.  \nYour Emergency Department Team","cbCaidms1I6Qy3GI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidms1I6Qy3GI","pdf",102721,"English","# Policy Overview\n## Reasons for Restrictions\n## Exceptions to the Rule","[{\"question\":\"Under what circumstances can an accompanying person remain in the treatment area?\",\"answer\":\"Accompaniment is allowed in exceptional cases at the discretion of the medical team, such as for minors, patients with language barriers or dementia, individuals requiring specific care assistance, and patients near the end of their life.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are visitors generally restricted from the treatment area?\",\"answer\":\"Restrictions are in place to maintain data protection and discretion, ensure a quiet environment for diagnostic accuracy, guarantee safety by keeping areas clear for emergencies, and uphold hygiene standards to prevent infection.\"},{\"question\":\"Who determines if an accompanying person may stay with a patient?\",\"answer\":\"The decision is made during the triage process by either the treating physician or the head of the nursing team.\"}]","Information for Persons Accompanying the Patient | PDF"]
