Texsan Heart Hospital

Taking care of the heart is what Texsan Heart Hospital does. Its uniquely designed facility and patient-focused care model help the hospital in its goal to provide cost-effective state-of-the-art cardiovascular care.

The comfort of the patients and their families, along with advanced diagnosis, treatment and therapy, is the most important objective of Texsan Heart Hospital. Texsan's patients have access to advanced technology and surgical techniques in a hospital specially designed for their treatment and recovery. From admission until discharge, patient care focuses on personal needs, comfort and convenience.

Texsan's patient-focused care model features private rooms -- a component of its uniquely designed facility. The patient remains in this room throughout his/her stay at the hospital, thereby preventing unnecessary stress caused by transporting the patient from room to room. Each room has a private restroom, sleeper sofa and a recliner to help ensure a comfortable stay for the patient and his/her family.

Staffing based on acuity levels promotes lower nurse to patient ratios, which is another important component of Texsan's patient-focused care model. At other hospitals, a nurse can be responsible for up to eight patients. Texsan's telemetry nurses average four patients at a time. For open-heart patients, the nurse to patient ratio at Texsan is typically 1-to-1 for at least the first 12 to 24 hours.
