Implementing Guidelines for Updating Family of Patients in the PACU

The family of the patients in our PACU may end up not seeing the patient until an hour or more after the Phase I finished, patient is transferred to the floor or to a Phase II outpatient unit. Pediatric patients and those with extenuating circumstances get a visit from family. Other PACU patients ’ family may not get an update during the entire PACU stay.
