Good things!

1)   First of all, thank you all for your amazing teamwork, the countless hours of cleaning, and innumerable emails of information you read in order to prepare for the Joint Commission.   We did very well and you all amazed me with your responses to the auditor…you did so great!   There were 2 minor building findings at TSQ that were fixed in front of the auditor and there weren’t any findings for the building at GS.   The clinical findings were a child and an adult chart for moderate sedation were audited and neither had take home education information about sedation.   It is required for education material to include the procedure AND a different one about sedation.   We will cover this again in more detail.   The oldest patient at NW (the main building itself) had enough findings that TJC will have to return in 30-45 days to see progress about those findings.

2)   New Staff:   Welcome Tiffany Dominguez who is now orienting on the unit, she is a PT night RN;   Catherine Monzingo is coming back PT days !!!!;    Kelsey Baker accepted a position as PT night RN but has not started yet.  Amanda Johnson has accepted the FT Float RN position but is still training Chad how to be the stroke coordinator and will arrive in a couple of weeks on the unit.     I know nights have been a bit difficult…help is on the way!

3)   Dr Poage put a “tool box” and a fancy ring cutter that might actually cut a ring in each pyxis.

4)   WHAT IS GOING ON AT GEORGIA STREET TODAY ?????  WE HAVE HAD 6 POSITIVE REVIEWS ON GOOGLE TODAY ALONE…. IS SOMEONE STANDING IN THE MEDIAN BY THE LIGHT PASSING OUT THOSE QR CARDS TO ALL THE CARS ?    THANK YOU AND PLEASE KEEP IT UP !    The UHS expectation is for us to get 30 reviews per month at each location.
