History
• Since its founding in 1963, Baptist Medical Center South has grown to become Montgomery's largest healthcare facility and Baptist Health's tertiary care center, offering unsurpassed specialty services and treatment. Through advanced technology, professional expertise and an exceptional level of personalized care, Baptist Medical Center South is the comprehensive resource for family healthcare in central Alabama.
• Known for its outstanding cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurology and surgical services, Baptist Medical Center South is home to skilled and dedicated physicians, nurses and staff.
National Patient Safety Goal
• NPSG.01.01.01: Use at least two patient identifiers when providing care, treatment, and services.– Patient name – Date of Birth
How NPSG is Being Addressed
• Medical Record Number• DOB• Identification is especially important in SICU
since the majority of patients are intubated and sedated
“Patient safety is the priority goal for everyone at Baptist.”
It is a Priority
“Not checking identifiers can result in job termination. Patient identification is part of being a professional. It also compromises
patient safety.” • Nurse Hoven checks behind RNs with the use of
scanning. She uses an audit tool to determine: – how many times the patient was scanned– the medications– how many times they were scanned together
One Need for Change
• Improve Team Work and Attitudes– ¾ of staff is team oriented, the other ¼ wish to
work alone.
“There needs to be an attitude change, the patient MUST come first.”
Making it Happen
• Promoting change– The staff decides if the charge nurse takes patients
or works out of staff.• Barrier to change– Attitudes of staff
Planning and Organizing
“The entire organization must be supportive, from the charge nurse to the CEO. The entire organization must support patient needs. The
RN determines needs, which are followed up by the charge nurse, nurse manager, all the way
through senior leadership.”
Motivation
• Positive attitude• Staff praise • Hand-written thank you notes• Baptist Bucks
“If good, positive behavior is recognized and rewarded, then they will continue the positive
behavior.”
Patient Care• Model– 16 of 24 hours in a day must be spent with the
patient; productive people work only at the bedside.
– Patient and family centered care• Effectiveness– NIMS– Patient satisfaction surveys
Financial Issues
• The nurse manager has a budget, called DOR, which includes revenue and money spent. – The DOR includes payroll. July-June is the fiscal
year. – The nurse manager has a say in the budget – Chief Financial Officer does the final budget, while
the nurse manager plans orientation dollars.
