The future of health care is based on a new age
of educated empowered and engaged patients
When patients are in our care there are many
ways we seek to increase their health education
and engagement
But what about the people in our community
who arenrsquot patients very often or who donrsquot
have a primary care relationship How can we
develop relationships with these individuals on
an ongoing basis to help them achieve their
health and wellness goals ndash so that when they
do need health care they turn to us first
Thatrsquos what Good for You was created to do ndash
provide a 365-day-a-year resource that helps
promote good health and connects interested
individuals to our events information services
physicians as well as to one another to engage
them in managing their health
The ldquohome baserdquoof the Good for You program
is baptistgoodforyoucom a health and wellness
blog This mobile-friendly web site is dedicated
to wellness topics with links to our Baptist
website so that if anyone wants to connect
with our physicians services programs or our
in-depth health library itrsquos only a click away
August2014 3
For our physicians and health care professionals
the Good for You blog is a new way of
sharing their expertise with the community
As the current literature says finding new
ways of delivering health information is a
critical component of engaging consumers in
managing their health Health care systems
increasingly want to be partners in the decision-
making processes that consumers apply in their
everyday lives so they can provide information
and guidance when they need it
Focused on women firstBecause the majority of health care decision-
makers are women Good for You is launching at
Speaking of Womenrsquos Health on August 23 with
content focused on the health needs of women
age 40 and better This is a time of life when
health risks are on the rise and health education
and disease prevention strategies are key
During and after the Speaking of Womenrsquos
Health event attendees and interested
community members are being encouraged to
become Good for You members which entitles
them to a host of members-only benefits
including discounts on special Good for You
events and other offers
If members need help finding Baptist Health
resources for any health-related need they can
call a special line 202-GOOD These calls will
be managed by Kym Dunton RN Coordinator
of Womenrsquos Health who will connect people
to the information and resources they need
Because women typically are the ldquoChief Health
Officersrdquoof their families we believe these care
coordination opportunities will extend beyond
traditional womenrsquos services encompassing
services for the whole family If you have friends or family members who want
to eat healthier quit smoking prevent diabetes
or be inspired by local medical experts
encourage them to consider becoming a Good
for You member today Simply send them to

InFORMATIOn SERvICES
Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the
Information Services Security department
via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands
Summary of Care (two parts)
Transition of
Care Summary
Referral summary mdash

Nurse gives to patient with
instructions ldquotake this to

The Clinical Summary currently printed by the nurse at discharge will be replaced

Clairvia is the staffing scheduling and acuity system being used on inpatient units at Baptist Jacksonville Nassau South Beaches and Wolfson Childrenrsquos Emergency centers (including Clay) will start using Clairvia in December 2014Clairvia is a web-based program that
allows clinical staff access anytime at
wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by
using a computer connected to the Internet
employees are able to submit schedule
requests participate in team scheduling
sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other
team members and view their current and
future schedules
ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability
Keeping connected with Clairvia

are critical in helping
hospitals and
caregivers make
the best decisions
ShiftAlert ensures that
nurses are quickly
aware of pressing
staffing needs and
can respond in time
for managers to
make optimal staffing
choices Detailed
reporting allows managers to monitor alert
distribution and assignment acceptance
or rejection

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Introducing Good for YouA new program designed to engage community members in managing their health
Promoting good health has always been fundamental to our mission at Baptist Health Now as part of our Changing Health Care for Good brand platform we are taking the next step in partnering with our community to enhance their health amp wellness by launching an ongoing initiative called Good for You
Well
ldquoI want to meetmy health and

Evaluating
ldquoHow does my health status compare now
Maintaining
ldquoCamaraderie makes it easier to stick to

The future of health care is based on a new age
of educated empowered and engaged patients
When patients are in our care there are many
ways we seek to increase their health education
and engagement
But what about the people in our community
who arenrsquot patients very often or who donrsquot
have a primary care relationship How can we
develop relationships with these individuals on
an ongoing basis to help them achieve their
health and wellness goals ndash so that when they
do need health care they turn to us first
Thatrsquos what Good for You was created to do ndash
provide a 365-day-a-year resource that helps
promote good health and connects interested
individuals to our events information services
physicians as well as to one another to engage
them in managing their health
The ldquohome baserdquoof the Good for You program
is baptistgoodforyoucom a health and wellness
blog This mobile-friendly web site is dedicated
to wellness topics with links to our Baptist
website so that if anyone wants to connect
with our physicians services programs or our
in-depth health library itrsquos only a click away
August2014 3
For our physicians and health care professionals
the Good for You blog is a new way of
sharing their expertise with the community
As the current literature says finding new
ways of delivering health information is a
critical component of engaging consumers in
managing their health Health care systems
increasingly want to be partners in the decision-
making processes that consumers apply in their
everyday lives so they can provide information
and guidance when they need it
Focused on women firstBecause the majority of health care decision-
makers are women Good for You is launching at
Speaking of Womenrsquos Health on August 23 with
content focused on the health needs of women
age 40 and better This is a time of life when
health risks are on the rise and health education
and disease prevention strategies are key
During and after the Speaking of Womenrsquos
Health event attendees and interested
community members are being encouraged to
become Good for You members which entitles
them to a host of members-only benefits
including discounts on special Good for You
events and other offers
If members need help finding Baptist Health
resources for any health-related need they can
call a special line 202-GOOD These calls will
be managed by Kym Dunton RN Coordinator
of Womenrsquos Health who will connect people
to the information and resources they need
Because women typically are the ldquoChief Health
Officersrdquoof their families we believe these care
coordination opportunities will extend beyond
traditional womenrsquos services encompassing
services for the whole family If you have friends or family members who want
to eat healthier quit smoking prevent diabetes
or be inspired by local medical experts

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the
Information Services Security department
via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands
Summary of Care (two parts)

Clairvia is the staffing scheduling and acuity system being used on inpatient units at Baptist Jacksonville Nassau South Beaches and Wolfson Childrenrsquos Emergency centers (including Clay) will start using Clairvia in December 2014Clairvia is a web-based program that
allows clinical staff access anytime at
wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by
using a computer connected to the Internet
employees are able to submit schedule
requests participate in team scheduling
sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other
team members and view their current and
future schedules
ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

ways of delivering health information is a
critical component of engaging consumers in
managing their health Health care systems

making processes that consumers apply in their

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census

the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the
Information Services Security department
via the Service Desk at 2027565 or

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability
Keeping connected with Clairvia

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands

messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Social engineering ndash ldquoHow may I help you Mr Thiefrdquo
Donrsquot fall victim to callers or emails trying to get Baptist Health informationDid you know some data thieves use the tried-and-true method of personal contact to try to steal
information Called social engineering it is a common method of attack because it is not technically
difficult and preys on our basic human behavior to be nice
Below are some common types of social engineering to look out forn Impersonation - an attacker pretending
to be an actual employee or someone
providing a service such as an equipment
repairman asking for help to access a
building or logging into a workstation
n Pulling rank - the attacker pretending to be
someone in a position of authority within the
organization such as saying he or she is the
CFO or the CFOrsquos executive assistant and
needs your help quickly
n Conformity - the attacker attempts to
convince the person that everyone else
has performed the action requested or
management has approved it such as
asking for your password and saying
everyone else has provided theirs
n Shoulder surfing -
this refers to any direct
observation of sensitive
information such as
observing someone
keying in a PIN or
password information
that is displayed on computer
monitors or personnel forms left
on a desk with social security
numbers exposed
If you have any questions or suspect
a possible scam please contact the

Upgrade to Windows 7 underwayYou may have heard in the news recently about Microsoftrsquos decision to end support of its 13-year-old
operating system Windows XP What does this mean to you and our organization
Without continued security updates from Microsoft computers running Windows XP may become
unstable (ie vulnerable to cyber-attacks from hackers) and will eventually no longer perform as a
secure channel for our communications Proactively Baptist Health is upgrading our XP operating
system to Windows 7 This will ensure we maintain safe and secure communications
Under the leadership of Kevin Porter director Technology Services Information Services (IS) staff
will assess your departmentrsquos computer needs and develop a timeline for upgrades to Windows 7
Specific details are coming soon
INFORMATION
August2014 7
Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups
Secure texting is coming soon
Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Texting is quickly becoming the preferred communication
method for direct quick informal messages and can be
less disruptive than phone calls or emails The challenge for
health care organizations is to use texting in a secure way
that wonrsquot compromise patient information
After reviewing many options physicians and clinicians at Baptist Health have selected a secure texting
solution Imprivatarsquos Cortext based on its convenience security and HIPAA compliance Baptist Health
currently uses Imprivatarsquos single sign-on in our patient care areas enabling care providers to log in and
out using their badge (Tap InndashTap Out) The integration of Cortext secure texting with Tap InndashTap Out
will give clinicians access to secure messaging via the existing Quick Launch bar
Cortext is easy to use and administer and offers a robust set of features and enhanced functionality
beyond just texting in a secure network Stay tuned for more information coming soon
Key Featuresn Notifies users of pending text messages
n Message stats and read receipts
n Users can flag favorites and create their own care team groups

Transition of care summaryOne of our goals for enhancing care
coordination for our patients is to provide a
summary of care to help make each transition
of care smoother This requires the use of
Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs)
As we build toward exchanging CCDs
electronically with providers inside and outside
of Baptist we will initially need to print out the
transition of Care Summary on paper (see chart
at right)
It is important to reinforce security of this
personal health information we are putting in
the patientrsquos hands

wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by
using a computer connected to the Internet
employees are able to submit schedule
requests participate in team scheduling

team members and view their current and

ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability
Keeping connected with Clairvia

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Clairvia is the staffing scheduling and acuity system being used on inpatient units at Baptist Jacksonville Nassau South Beaches and Wolfson Childrenrsquos Emergency centers (including Clay) will start using Clairvia in December 2014Clairvia is a web-based program that
allows clinical staff access anytime at
wwwMyBHschedulecom This means that by
using a computer connected to the Internet
employees are able to submit schedule
requests participate in team scheduling
sign up for open shifts swap shifts with other
team members and view their current and
future schedules
ShiftAlert helps manage the unexpectedA new feature ShiftAlert was added to Clairvia
in July It enables the whole team to participate
in scheduling for fluctuation in patient census
and acuity In the past filling immediate need
nursing assignments due to an unexpectedly
high fluctuation in patient demand has meant
the time-consuming effort of locating a list of
eligible staff calling them on the phone leaving
messages and waiting for return calls
With ShiftAlert widespread alerts are
transmitted electronically to team members
within seconds via SMS text email and
interactive voice response (IVR) Since alerts
are broadcast through three different avenues
managers are assured that the messages are
accessible at any time of the day or night
In todayrsquos health care environment rapid
communication and information availability
Keeping connected with Clairvia

are critical in helping
hospitals and
caregivers make
the best decisions
ShiftAlert ensures that
nurses are quickly
aware of pressing
staffing needs and
can respond in time
for managers to
make optimal staffing
choices Detailed
reporting allows managers to monitor alert
distribution and assignment acceptance

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Welcome new Foundation team members
Nicole Thomas MHA FACHE
vice president of Operations and
Specialty Services was named
among the ldquoWomen of Influencerdquo by
The Jacksonville Business Journal
The award recognizes north Florida
women for business achievements
and community involvement
Thomas was recognized for leading
the implementation of Baptist
Healthrsquos Stroke amp Cerebrovascular
Center She led a multidisciplinary
operations team to launch the new center with
the goal of creating the most comprehensive
stroke center in the region To accomplish
this Thomas helped to assemble and lead a
multidisciplinary team including clinical and
operational staff all within a three month time
frame
This effort required simultaneously transforming
four floors of the Weaver Tower into a dedicated
state-of-the-art neurological hospital-within-a-
hospital Since the opening of the new center
on March 17 more than 300 procedures have
been performed
ldquoWe believe that many of these patients would
otherwise have been transferred out of the
community for the complex care they requiredrdquo
said Hugh Greene Baptist Healthrsquos president
and CEO ldquoNicole is an invaluable executive
whose passion has made a significant difference
in improving the health of our communityrdquo
As philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in health care
Baptist Health Foundation has been growing to keep up with needs
throughout the system
In the past year Baptist Health increased its fundraising capability by
adding several directors of development and other key professional
staff The strategy involves dedicated gift officers at Baptist
Jacksonville Baptist Nassau and Baptist South Their role is to form
volunteer development councils to assist in identifying cultivating
soliciting and stewardship of major gift prospects They will also
work with physicians to identify grateful patients who are interested
in supporting Baptist Health The foundation has also hired two new
development officers for Wolfson Childrenrsquos Hospital to assist with
the growing number of corporations and young families who want to
be more engaged in enhancing pediatric and adolescent health
With Baptist Health Foundation fully staffed an increase in private
support has already been reached As the fiscal year is coming to an
end the Foundation has exceeded its goal of $15 million in gifts
and pledges

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

All we want for Christmas is for the flu to end with youWhy do I have to get the flu shotDid you know the flu ends with you Getting the flu shot is the single-best
way to prevent the flu and spreading it to others According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention most healthy adults could be able to
infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to five
to seven days after becoming sick Since we take care of some of the most
critical patients itrsquos important we model this preventive measure
Who has to get the flu shotALL team members volunteers students and contractors are required to get the flu shot unless
they have a documented medical contraindication or religious exemption If a documented
medical contraindication or religious exemption is provided the individual will be required to
wear a mask while in patient care areas during the designated flu season
When are flu shots availableFREE flu shots will be available to all team members and volunteers starting in September during
Healthy For Life insurance discount screenings and during other designated times and locations
across the system Check the Employee Health intranet page or your employee health office for
more information
What kind of flu shots will be providedEmployee Health will be offering the trivalent FLUZONE preservative-free shot this year to all
team members and volunteers Students and contractors are responsible for receiving a flu shot
through their school or company If you choose to get a flu shot through your personal health
care provider that is fine Please bring documentation of your vaccination to your Employee
Health office no later than Nov 30 2014
What if I choose not to get a flu shotStarting with the 2014-2015 flu season declining the flu shot because of personal reasons (other
than a valid medical contraindication or religious exemption) will not be permitted Those who
choose not to receive the flu shot and who do not have a documented medical contraindication
or religious exemption on file with Employee Health will not be allowed to work
Is the flu shot tied to the Healthy For Life insurance discount this yearNo Since the flu shot is required this year it will not be tied to the Healthy For Life
insurance discount

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
Where can I find more informationThe ExCEL web page can be found by clicking

Meet this monthrsquos Star Tasha Schoppee MSN RN CHPN Baptist Jacksonville
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCELI became involved in ExCEL because it offered a framework and support for
projects and the education I was pursuing or interested in pursuing I also
appreciated the opportunities for training and the reward that it offered There
were several nurses on my unit who participated in ExCEL and they spoke highly
of their experiences in the program It made a significant contribution to my success that the MSICU
managers (Rose Quinio and Karen Wilson) were exceptional advocates of ExCEL offering a wealth
of encouragement and support
How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCELThe ExCEL Program has been a wonderful experience I learned the nuts-and-bolts of Evidence-
Based Practice (EBP) this began in the excellent EBP workshop led by Marsha Miles Cindy Howard
and Carrie Diggers-Adams They assisted me in exploring topics meaningful to me and to my
practice Irsquove had opportunities to apply research at the bedside Making connections with those
who offered support and direction through the process was invaluable During the time I was
involved in ExCEL I pursued both my BSN and MSN I found ExCEL to be very synergistic with my
academic endeavors Nancy Cann and Jeanne Bradburn offered exceptional support throughout all
four levels of my ExCEL journey
What advice would you give nurses interested in participating in ExCELI cannot speak highly enough of the value of participating in ExCEL The opportunities allow nurses
to stretch past their comfort zones and develop expertise in their practice At every stage I found
such amazing support and encouragement I feel so fortunate to have participated in a personal and
professional development experience of such quality My practice and my personal goals have been
impacted and strengthened by participation in the ExCEL program I would highly recommend it to
any nurse whose intention is to build a career of excellence
After working for 16 years as a social worker Schoppee began her nursing career nine years ago at
Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville working in ICU During this time she obtained her BSN and MSN
degrees and plans to pursue her PhD Schoppee is described as being very active in her nursing career
and has a strong passion for palliative care
Schoppee is a graduate of the 2011 Emerging Leaders program as well as a recipient of the Great 100
Nurses of Northeast Florida in 2013 She is a certified hospice and palliative nurse and has developed a
palliative care education series and a palliative care model Schoppee now works as the Palliative Care
Program coordinator

New and improved ExCEL programBaptist Health believes that our nurses are the best in the region and according to a recent consumer survey so do the majority of residents in Jacksonville Baptist Health is proud to have a program in which nurses can highlight their accomplishments and involvement and be recognized and rewarded for professional growth ExCEL is improving to stay current with our ever-changing health care environment Baptist listened
to our nursesrsquo needs and suggestions and has developed an ExCEL program that is more user-
friendly while still empowering and enriching nurses in their profession
How has the ExCEL program changedThe most noticeable change is the program
no longer has ldquolevelsrdquo ExCEL recognition
and compensation are based on a point value
system The nurse must complete the ldquoCore
Curriculumrdquo for a minimum financial return
and then complete additional activities to
accrue points earning more recognition and
increased compensation
Who is eligible to participateAll direct-care nurses who have successfully
completed hospital and unit orientation and
are past the probationary period are eligible
Exempt from participation are advance
practice nurses directors managers
nurse navigators and educators
How do I get involvedComplete the letter of intent which can be
found on the ExCEL homepage
What is the deadline to registerYou now have two opportunities a year to apply
for ExCEL The first registration period will be in
September The second will be in March 2015
Whichever timeframe you choose the ExCEL
program runs for 12 months
