Updated Visitation Policy, Effective enero 12, 2026

Influenza and other upper respiratory illnesses within our service areas are rapidly increasing, causing increased hospitalization rates. After careful consideration and discussion, Cameron Health is implementing similar protocols within the hospital.

Below is an outline of what restrictions will be in place and safeguards we are asking of co-workers and visitors:

• Visitors:

  • Hospital: Limited to two visitors at a time and must be 12 years of age or older.
  • Exceptions to the visitor restrictions will be considered for end-of-life and other unique circumstances.
  • MOB: No visitor restrictions. Patients will be strongly encouraged to limit the number of guests when possible.
  • Off-site clinics: No visitor restrictions. Patients will be strongly encouraged to limit the number of guests when possible.

• Cameron Personnel:

  • Source control in public areas, nursing stations, break rooms, meeting rooms, and locations in which patient care is not conducted is encouraged but not mandatory
  • Source control is strongly encouraged in the following situations:
    • Upon entry to any patient room (includes inpatient rooms, ED rooms, outpatient exam rooms, procedure rooms)
    • When performing direct patient care (examinations, blood draws, imaging studies, outpatient IV infusions, anticoagulation clinic visits)
    • When Cameron personnel have a close contact exposure to an individual with influenza or an upper respiratory illness
  • Staggered breaks: Leaders and co-workers are encouraged to stagger breaks and to social distance, when possible.

• General Masking Guidelines

  • Universal masking guidelines will not be mandatory, but encouraged to help reduce the risk of spreading upper respiratory illnesses
  • Signage will be placed at all patient and visitor entry locations encouraging individuals to wear a mask, especially if they are presenting to the hospital with upper respiratory symptoms.

Directiva anticipada de Indiana

Cameron Hospital desea informarle de su derecho a tomar decisiones relativas a su atención médica, incluido el derecho a formular Directivas Anticipadas.

Un documento de voluntades anticipadas es un documento legal que puede utilizar para:

• Nombrar a un representante sanitario (RSC) para que hable en su nombre, si usted no puede tomar decisiones sobre el tratamiento debido a su estado de salud.
• Identificar las opciones de tratamiento para la atención futura

Las voluntades anticipadas no son obligatorias. La finalidad de las instrucciones previas es que su médico obtenga información sobre sus opciones sanitarias, de modo que se puedan cumplir sus deseos.

Recently, Indiana passed a law that allows for greater flexibility in determining the forms you wish to use for completing Advance Directives. There is no official Advance Directive form, but sample options are available at “Prepare for Your Care” and The Indiana Patient Preferences Coalition, a statewide group that promotes high-quality advance care planning. This group created a standardized Indiana Advance Directive form, that is also available in Spanish & Burmese languages.

Es conveniente que entregue una copia de sus instrucciones previas a su representante sanitario, a su médico y al personal del hospital cada vez que acuda a éste.

Tienes derecho a:

• Recibir información y asistencia sobre las voluntades anticipadas
• Modificar o revocar las voluntades anticipadas
• Cuidados y tratamientos, tenga o no un documento de voluntades anticipadas

La política de Cameron es respetar las directivas anticipadas, incluidas las de otros estados (si no entran en conflicto con la ley del estado de Indiana), siempre que haya una copia firmada del documento.

The three forms maintained by the Indiana State Department of Health, prior to the new law (Appointment of a Health Care Representative, The Living Will, and The Life-Prolonging Procedures Declaration), are no longer available. However, if you completed one of these forms prior to diciembre 31, 2022, it remains valid, and you do not have to complete a new document, unless you choose to do so.
