Telecommunication devices (TDD) are available for hearing-impaired patients or for patients wishing to communicate with a hearing-impaired relative or friend. Amplified phone handsets are also available. American Sign Language interpreters are available at no cost to the patient. Your nurse can help you access these services.

Quality Management
At Providence Portland Medical Center we are committed to providing the best care at the lowest possible cost. To support that commitment, we’ve established a Quality Management (QD) department to monitor the quality and appropriateness of patient care and the use of hospital resources. Feedback from these mechanisms keeps us aware of how Providence Portland is achieving that goal.
The QM department works behind the scenes, but is directly accessible to patients, handling questions or concerns and acting as a clearinghouse for problem referrals.
If you have any problems during your stay, don’t hesitate to contact Quality Management at ext. 56126 or 503-215-6126 outside the hospital. We will do everything possible to resolve the problem to your satisfaction.
