Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital houses 38 private inpatient rooms, each within easy access of a surgical suite of 11 operating rooms. All patient areas are designed to provide safe, effective post-operative care, supported by a one-to-four nurse-to-patient ratio, unparalleled in the Tulsa area. Using a patient-centered approach, the staff consists of more than 230 full-time personnel including but not limited to Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Case Managers and Social Workers, Licensed Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, Dietitians, Registered Pharmacists, Certified Nurse Assistants and Licensed Radiology Technologists. This dedicated team of experienced professionals, the physician/surgeon specialists, nurses and support staff acknowledge and live the hospital’s mission statement: to be successful, our staff cannot be ordinary. With the understanding that patients are the most important aspect of our culture, a focus is maintained on you, your family and your visiting guests.
The hospital is designed to be comforting for you as well as efficient for employees. Physicians are directly involved in quality assurance, resource management and performance-improvement issues. The medical staff meets weekly to discuss administrative matters, make decisions and implement policies and procedures that impact you. Because Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital is a smaller, specialized facility, it offers more personal care to patients and closer relationships between employees. Administrators are more accessible, both to employees and patients, and hospital management can more quickly and efficiently address patient needs. VIP attention begins at the door, where you have easy access to parking lots from all areas of the facility.
First-class amenities such as fleece bathrobes and toiletry gift items, spacious and generously appointed rooms - rich and warm with faux wood floors and furniture, each with its own personal bath - are only a part of the personalized service. Teddy bears or T-shirts await our pediatric patients. Families of surgical patients can expect timely updates by Patient Tracker - a plasma screen in the surgical waiting room that provides specific information to notify the family of the status of their loved one. The elegant lobby provides a respite for those waiting, with complimentary coffee and vending nearby.
