Condition H:

An Extra Layer of Protection for Our Patients

At ACMH Hospital, our goal is to work closely with patients and families to ensure that we provide the best care possible. The best healthcare is the result of an ongoing partnership that includes good communication among the patient, family members and care givers.

Condition H (Condition Help) has been implemented at ACMH and hospitals nationwide as an additional safety measure. It gives patients and their families a voice, enabling them to call for help immediately if they feel a patient is not receiving adequate medical attention. By offering patients and their families the option to call Condition H, ACMH encourages you to partner with us in your healthcare.

TO ACTIVATE CONDITION H: Call the hospital operator by pressing “0” on the telephone by the patient bed or call 724-543-8500. Give the operator the following information:  Your name (if not the patient), patient’s name and location, and your concern. The operator activates Condition H and notifies staff to come to the room to address the concern.

Hospitalist Program

At ACMH, we have a hospitalist program that operates 24/7. The term "hospitalist" refers to a physician who specializes in treating hospitalized patients. You may see a hospitalist at the request of your primary care physician. Please be assured that the hospitalists have access to your past medical history and other relevant information from your primary care physician. Upon discharge, all of your information regarding your stay, such as discharge instructions and changes in medications will be communicated to your primary care physician.
