Branding & Identity

Philosophy Branding is always a moving target, but there are qualities that are common to strong brands that connect with people over a long period of time. Less is more. Type is visual poetry. Graphical elements must carry their weight, not merely decorate. You have to know when to break the rules and when to toe the line.

Extending a Brand Well-crafted brands function effectively when in a variety of media and variations. Marketing collateral, advertisements, and other printed materials all work together to support the message of the brand and connect with the intended audience.

WELCOMEWelcome to Self Regional Medical Center and the South Carolina Joint Center. Our

healthcare professionals form a care team that is working together for your success.

Your “coach” fills an important role during your visit with us and even after you leave the hospital. We want to include your coach in various stages of the pre- and postoperative processes. Our daily Hip Clips newsletter contains information for you and your coach. Coaches, family members and friends should wait in the surgery waiting room during your procedure today.

The surgeon or care team staff will provide updates in the surgical waiting area after your procedure is complete. If coaches or family members need to leave the waiting room during your surgery, they should alert our staff and let us know how we can contact them.

Patient & ‘Coach’ NewslettersYour care team will deliver a Hip Clips newsletter each morning during your stay with us.

The newsletters highlight details of daily activities, information on overall health, exercise, mobility, therapy, diet, recovery and joint care.

We want you and your family to be informed along the path to recovery.

Each newsletter is different and contains important information related to each day’s activities.

We encourage you to read the newsletters and keep them in the slip-in pockets of your patient guidebook for reference.

Dining for Our GuestsCafeteriaThe hospital cafeteria is located on the second floor of the Main Building and is open seven days a week. We offer a hot food buffet, a self-serve salad bar, daily chef’s specials, grilled items, a soup and deli station, and beverages and snacks. Call 5562 within the hospital for more information.

Breakfast: 6:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.•Lunch: 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.•Dinner: 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.•

VendingHospital vending machines are located in the lobby of the Main Building and in the family waiting area on the third floor of the Patient Tower.

Parking and Hospital Navigation

Parking is available on the Spring Street side of the hospital on the day of surgery. Coaches or family should enter through the Surgery Center entrance on the Spring Street side of the Main Building and locate the surgery waiting area. South Carolina Joint Center patient rooms are located on the third floor of the Patient Tower. Your care team will take you to your private room following surgery and the postoperative recovery period.

Admission Day • General Information for Families

Issue #1



CONGRATULATIONS! Are You Ready for the Next Steps?Now that your surgery is complete, it’s time to move ahead – literally. Your surgeon expects

you to begin moving around soon. Your nurse and/or physical therapist will let you know when it’s time to get on your feet and begin walking, and they will provide assistance, as needed.

Refer to your patient guidebook for information on the steps we take – and the ones you will take – as you transition from the surgical track to the recovery track.

The South Carolina Joint Center care team will cheer you on as you turn the third-floor Patient Tower hallways into your personal racetrack over the next few days.

Take it easy today, though, and follow your care team’s instructions and the advice in your Hip Clips newsletters.

When you get clearance to begin walking, remember to wave each time you lap the nurses’ station. We want you to take care of yourself and your new implant equipment, so be sure to take breaks when you need them. OK. Now let’s hit the track. We will see you at the finish line.

You probably will feel sleepy. It is OK to take naps today. Your nurses will wake you, as needed, to record vital signs and to assist you with breathing exercises. You will be turned every two hours today.

We encourage you to eat and drink as much as you can. Your care team will work to manage postoperative discomfort, which is normal after total hip replacement.

Your surgeon has prescribed pain medication for you. Let your nurses know how the medication is working. Your incentive spirometer is an important recovery tool you need to use daily. Your “coach” should help you exercise your lungs at least once each hour. Try to do 5-10 inhalations with each exercise. We want you to move your feet and ankles often to keep your blood circulating well.

See if you can “write” the alphabet with your feet. Movement can help reduce the chance of postoperative blood clots.

What You Need to Know About Today ...

Surgery Day • Information for Patients

What’s on Today’s Menu?

Try ice chips or sips of water when you wake up from surgery.

Your care team will provide you a menu to complete for lunch and dinner. We recommend that you order small portions of non-spicy foods. Fluid intake is more important than large meals.

Let us know if you have special dietary needs or have food allergies. Our Food and Nutrition Services staff work hard to deliver warm meals to you during scheduled delivery times.

We take into account physical therapy sessions when planning deliveries; however, meals might be delivered while you are away from your room. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Meal delivery times

Lunch: 12:15 p.m.•Supper: 5:05 p.m.•

A Snapshot of Tomorrow …

The lab will draw blood for blood work about 4 a.m., and your nurse will take your vital signs about 7 a.m.

We want to make sure you are awake and ready for breakfast before it’s time to meet your physical therapist and begin exercising.

Your exercise goal for tomorrow will be to walk. In other words, we want to get you on that “racetrack” we champion in this Hip Clips newsletter.

Your entire care team, which you may call your “pit crew,” if you wish, will be there to assist you in achieving that goal. Rest well.

It’s off to the races tomorrow.

Issue #2




Good Morning! Say “hello” to your new hip

Today is a new day for you and your new hip. We hope you begin to feel better as the day progresses.

Our care team will assist you with today’s activities and check on

you frequently. Try to drink plenty of fluids.

Your appetite might be in hiding for a day or two, but it will resurface.

Your surgical wound drain will be removed today and IV fluids will be discontinued.

Your physical therapist will work

with you to walk and increase your comfort

in moving your hip.

The exercises help reduce swelling, which makes your hip

feel better.

A therapist will see you in the morning and the afternoon. Don’t forget about your “racetrack” (ie., the third-floor hallways).

Make your walking laps and get your cheers from the nurses’ station as you work your way toward the finish line.

Let’s (NOT) do the “Twist”

You might be walking a lot, but you’re not ready to enter a “Twist” dance contest or play the game Twister.®

This is where the “T” comes from when we talk about TLC. “T” stands for “twist,” and it’s something you must avoid after surgery.

“L” stands for “leaning,” and “C” for “crossing” your legs, and these are two more things you must avoid right now. We do not want you to cross your legs, bend your hips past 90 degrees or twist your operated leg in any direction.

TLC guidelines are not just for the hospital, but also while you are recovering at home. When it comes to your new hip, the traditional TLC (Tender Loving Care) means avoiding another TLC:

T No TWISTING or TURNING to look behind you.

L No LEANING or bending over that causes the hip

to flex beyond 90 degrees, and no LOW chairs.

C No CROSSING of the legs.

Postoperative • Day One


Our care team will provide you a menu to complete for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We recommend that you order small portions of non-spicy foods. Fluid intake is more important than large meals.


We take into account physical therapy sessions when planning deliveries; however, meals might be delivered while you are away from your room. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Meal delivery times

Breakfast: 7:05 a.m.•Lunch: 12:15 p.m.•Supper: 5:05 p.m.•

A Snapshot of Tomorrow ...

The lab will draw blood for blood work about 4 a.m., and your nurse will take your vital signs about 7 a.m.

You will then bathe and dress so you are ready for your physical therapist. Your nurse will discuss with you any special instructions or precautions for bathing and dressing.

You can find information about performing these tasks in your patient guidebook. Your guidebook has tentative times for your therapy sessions.

Invite your coach to therapy to assist you and to learn with you during therapy.

You will also see an occupational therapist, who will help you with activities of daily living, such as putting clothes on, picking up items off the floor, etc.

Issue #3



By now you’ve realized walking is critically important to your recovery.

Make sure you record your laps as you cruise around the third floor of the Patient Tower.

Each day, try to go a little farther by adding more laps. Your goal is to increase the distance you walk as you become more independent in your personal care.

Reaching a recovery level of your optimal strength and stamina might seem impossible today, but you’ll start seeing an improvement with each new step and with each new day.

Keep moving toward the finish line.

Ready, Set, Go! It is Time to Energize and ExerciseInvite your coach to join you for therapy.

You will also work with an occupational therapist in the morning to help you increase independence in personal care.

Your physical and occupational therapists have been working

with you on general exercises, movement and the best way to complete tasks postoperatively.

Don’t forget to do these important exercises (see your guidebook for directions) throughout the day while you are still in our care here at the Joint Center:

• Ankle pumps

• Quad sets

• Gluteal sets

Postoperative • Day Two


Our care team will provide you a menu to complete breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We recommend that you order small portions of non-spicy foods.


We take into account physical therapy sessions when planning deliveries; however, meals might be delivered while you are away from your room.

Meal delivery times

Breakfast: 7:05 a.m.•Lunch: 12:15 p.m.•Supper: 5:05 p.m.•

A Snapshot of Tomorrow ...

It seems like you just got here. Now you are planning to leave. We will miss you.

While you, your coach, family and friends are preparing for your departure, your care team is at work planning for your discharge from the hospital — whether you are going directly home or to a sub-acute rehabilitation center.

A medical social worker and other staff will finalize your medical equipment needs, transfer plans and other details related to your departure.

Make sure you finalize transportation arrangements (see the patient guidebook for automobile transfer instructions). Coaches: If you’ve been jotting down questions you need answered before hospital discharge, today is the day to ask members of your care team. Sleep well tonight.

Issue #4



Discharge Day

RemindersPlease review this checklist of goals and evaluate your readiness for discharge.

Patient: c Knows the goals and

precautions of Lovenox® or Coumadin® therapy.

c Can name the positioning Dos and Don’ts.

c Can get out of bed and use the walker independently.

c Can walk at least 500 feet.

c Has the medical equipment needed at home.

c Has made arrangements for postoperative physical therapy and lab work.

c Transportation arrangements have been completed.

Coaches: Are all your questions answered?

Final Push tothe Finish Line Today is an important day for you

as you graduate from part one of the recovery track to the next stage. Plan for a late-morning discharge from the hospital.

This generally takes place after your morning therapy sessions. Before you leave, how about giving us one final attempt on that “racetrack” you also know as the third-floor Patient Tower hallway. Set a goal for yourself and then give it your best shot.

The checkered flag is within your reach. Keep in mind that everyone heals differently. You may not be as far as you would like, but keep trying.

Your Joint Center care team wants to give you one final cheer as you make your way past thefinish line at the nurses’ station.

It has Been Our Pleasure …You have been much more than a patient; you’ve been our welcomed guest.

We’ve guided you through an important healthcare journey, and it has been our pleasure to work with you during your stay.

Our care team collectively smiles when we see our Joint Center guests leave with a small step toward a successful recovery. Remember that your hospital journey ends, but your road to recovery has just begun.

If you have questions, please contact the joint care coordinator or refer to your patient guidebook.

The book is an important recovery tool and provides information about postoperative exercises and daily living. Pay careful attention to your discharge instructions and follow post-discharge guidelines and information in your guidebook about surgical incision care.

Thank you for being our guest and allowing us to care for you.
