Katriina Hospital is a part of the Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county's hospital services.
Ward 6 of the hospital has 23 + 1 beds in single and double rooms. The ward specialises in infectious and inflammatory diseases, and because of infections, following good hygiene practices is particularly important.
At the ward, care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists and social workers. The patient's treatment and rehabilitation are assessed and planned throu…gh patient rounds, target meetings and daily care. If necessary, specialist assessments may also be requested.
Patient-specific care meetings are also held as needed. They involve the patient and their loved ones as well as representatives from the hospital and the outpatient department involved in the treatment/rehabilitation.
Each patient is assigned a primary nurse who handles all the patient's affairs: looks after them while at work, deals with other staff groups on the patient's behalf or with the patient, and communicates with the patient's relatives when necessary. In all treatment-related matters, the primary nurse is the first point of contact.
The aim of the treatment and rehabilitation is to maintain and promote your functional ability. The emphasis is on your personal goals, wellbeing and holistic rehabilitation approaches that allow you to participate in society. You are involved in setting your own objectives as well as planning the care and rehabilitation period together with the hospital's multidisciplinary team and your loved ones. The achievement of the objectives is assessed periodically together with the team.
