4worldlovers: It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of Dr. Joel Niznick. Dr. Niznick was born in Fort Francis, Ontario before moving to Winnipeg for most of his upbringing. He attended medical school at the University of Manitoba and from there moved to Toronto to complete his Internal Medicine training and ultimately came to Ottawa to finish his cardiology training at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Dr.Niznick led the development of the Ottawa Cardiovascular Centre, one of Ontario’s most advanced office based cardiology offices, providing quality care to 10’s of thousands of patients over the last 35 years. Dr. Niznick was a forward thinker and strong patient advocate. His focus was on translation of knowledge into practice utilizing database development and electronic records. He believed strongly in providing continuity of care to his patients and felt they were part of his family. He was very protective of his patients, many of whomhad been with him for decades.

4worldlovers: The Ottawa Hospital has a skilled and compassionate team of professionals who are dedicated to working together to provide you with the highest level of care.

Our team includes medical professionals, nurses, allied health professionals such as pharmacists and physiotherapists, support staff, social workers, spiritual staff, palliative care specialists and volunteer services.

Fully responsible for your medical care and treatment during your stay, your attending physician who initiated your admission to the hospital, also collaborates with team members who assist in your treatment.

The Ottawa Hospital is a teaching hospital. Residents and Fellows are medical doctors taking specialized training in a particular field. They may visit you every day, plan your treatment and meet with your attending physician to discuss your care and treatment.

Medical students are completing medical school and may visit you to gain clinical experience by learning to take medical histories and conducting physical examinations. Their involvement in your care is directly supervised by the attending physician.

Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) are an integral part of the health-care team who perform diagnostic imaging examinations and administer radiation therapy treatments. Upon completion of a CMA-accredited education program that includes both didactic and clinical components at a college or university, graduates are well versed in the application of new imaging and therapeutic technologies. Their course of study includes anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, equipment protocols, radiation safety, radiation protection and patient care. Upon completion of their formal education, they are then eligible to write the national certification examination administered by the CAMRT, choosing to specialize in one or more of the four disciplines of medical imaging and radiation science: general radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. MRTs provide a delicate balance between technical knowledge and adaptive patient skills, generally in a hospital or clinic.

A Clinical Manager is responsible for the patient care provided on a particular nursing unit.

The nursing staff is responsible for the provision of care during your stay. Staff involved in your care may include Registered Nurses (RN) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPN). A student nurse may also care for you under the direction of a Registered Nurse.

Should you wish to have a private duty nurse, please consult your physician and inform the Clinical Manager of the unit. You and your family will be responsible for making the arrangements to obtain these services and for paying the agency.

While you are in the hospital, your doctor may refer you to various allied health professionals. These include pharmacists, respiratory therapists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, recreation therapists, physiotherapists, speech language pathologists, audiologists, dietitians and others. If you have any questions about the treatment or test being given, please ask the professional providing your care or your doctor to explain the reason for the procedure and what will take place.

Support staff may include Patient Care Assistants (PCA), orderlies, Administrative Control Clerks (ACC) and ward clerks.

Social workers collaborate with your physicians, nurses and other health-care staff to help you and your family adjust to your illness. They also assist in the detailed planning for your discharge from the hospital. Increasingly, patients need assistance to coordinate their move from hospital to community-based care. Patients may need emotional support, assistance with care for other family members, physiotherapy, nursing and homemaking arrangements, or help with financial concerns. Social workers can assist with these issues.

Hospital Chaplains provide spiritual care for patients, their families and staff. They offer spiritual counselling, emotional support and resources for addressing ethical and religious concerns. Spiritual care is a source of strength and healing when facing difficult situations.

Each campus has a chapel that is open for times of prayer and meditation. A schedule of worship and religious services is also available. If you or your family wish to speak to the chaplain, your nurse will provide assistance.

Palliative Care support is available to patients who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The Palliative Care team consists of physicians, nurses, social workers and other health-care professionals. Together, they provide physical, emotional and spiritual support for palliative patients and their families.
