Talking with your healthcare team
How can I partner with my Baycrest healthcare team and talk about
changes in my health status?
1) Tell your healthcare team how you would like to communicate with them and
how you would like to get information and updates about your health.
• Your Baycrest healthcare team will talk with you, and with your
permission, your family or caregiver about improvements in your health,
as well as any unintended health outcomes or significant changes in
your condition. They will also tell you about other issues, such as if
there is an outbreak on the unit or any changes that may affect your
programs.
2) Choose to have your family, friend or caregiver informed about changes in
your health status. You can also choose how and when you want others to
be notified.
• You and your family or caregiver can take part in care team meetings
and can talk with the healthcare team right away if you have any
concerns or issues. If these issues cannot be resolved, please contact
the unit manager.
• The Baycrest family information page at baycrest.org is also a good
place to get more information.
