General Visitation definition

General Visitation means a visit or contact that occurs in person between a patient and a Visitor a limited number of times each day. The Hospital may arrange for General Visitation of a Hospital patient no more than one time per day and by no more than one Visitor that day. The limitation on visitation is necessary to cut down on the number of Visitors on any given day, permitting the Hospital to protect patients, other Visitors, and personnel from the cumulative risk posed by the number of people on the Hospital Premises who are not necessary for patient care. The Hospital should, when possible, determine the patient’s wishes in terms of who may visit on a given day. If the Hospital is unable to determine the patient’s wishes, then the patient’s authorized decision maker such as a spouse, person holding durable power of attorney for healthcare decisions, or other family member should be consulted. Absent such input, the Hospital must devise a process for determining who may visit and must do so in a non-discriminatory manner. In relation to General Visitation, the Hospital should recommend that the patient designate a small group of people, such as immediate family or close friends, who may visit rather than having a large number of people visit over time due to the increased risk of exposure to the patient and to others at the Hospital. The Hospital should also recommend, and if possible facilitate, SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing for a person who is a frequent Visitor at the Hospital in order to reduce the risk of exposure if the Visitor is asymptomatic.
