Quantum’s physicians know that patients can feel anxious about many of the interventional radiology procedures. To help relieve some of the stresses involved in preparing for an exam, Quantum has a dedicated team of R.N.’s and aides who meet with our patients to review and explain the entire procedure in a quiet, non-threatening atmosphere.

       On the date of the intervention, the nurses greet the patients and help guide them through the procedure and their stay in the recovery room.

       At the end of the day, the nurses review discharge instructions with the patients, answer any questions and remind the patients that they can call if they are feeling anxious or uncertain about any symptoms they experience when they are at home.

       These patient care coordinators have made the difficult and unpleasent process of undergoing a procedure easier to bear.
