A LONG AND PRESTIGIOUS HISTORY

First established in 1937. National Children’s Cardiac Hospital (NCCH).

Present building occupied in 1963. Continued as a Children’s Cardiac Hospital.

Obtained by the University of Miami in 1965 Integrates adult focused care.

In 1971, the building was enlarged and renamed University of Miami Hospital and Clinics.

In 1992, after a generous donation from the Sylvester family, the Sylvester Cancer Center was opened.

Today, it serves as the hub for cancer-related research, diagnosis, and treatment at the University Of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. Since opening 15 years ago, UM/Sylvester has transformed cancer research and treatment in South Florida and beyond.

UM/Sylvester handles nearly 1,600 inpatient admissions annually, 175,000 outpatient visits, performs 2,600 surgical procedures, and treats 3,400 new cancer patients. All UM/Sylvester physicians are on the faculty of the Miller School of Medicine, South Florida's only academic medical center.

record on the UM Injury/ Accident Report

For any reportable incident you MUST inform your preceptor and nursing instructor immediately: You will be involved in completing the appropriate incident report Never make mention of incident report in Nurse’s Notes on Patient’s

Medical Record Forward all incident reports to Risk Management A sentinel event occurs as a result of an unanticipated death or major permanent loss of function, not related to the expected course of the patient illness or underlying condition

Suicide of a patient in a setting where the patient receives around-the-clock care (e.g., hospital, residential nursing or treatment centers, crisis rehabilitation center)

Infant abduction or discharge to the wrong family Rape Hemolytic transfusion reaction involving administration of blood and

blood products having major blood group incompatibilities

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

As part of minimizing or preventing potential safety hazards, the following guidelines are established: Never block aisles or exits with boxes, chairs, stretchers, etc., even temporarily.

Positively NO RUNNING! Traffic passes to the right.

Approach corners and corridor intersections cautiously, using the overhead mirrors to avoid collisions.

Push vehicles, carts, stretchers, etc. SLOWLY. See your way ahead.

Push vehicles, carts, stretchers, etc. from the end (not the sides) to avoid smashing your fingers. Keep patient hands inside bed rails and wheelchairs.

Discard disposable items in the proper containers.

DO NOT eat or drink in the work area.

Wipe up spills immediately.

Observe NO SMOKING rules. Smoking is allowed in designated areas ONLY. Sylvester courtyard area – the cubicles at the end of each side UMHC area – outside in front of trailer

Be alert to potential safety hazards and report them to your instructor/preceptor.

REMEMBER: It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain a safe work environment for our patients, visitors, and co-workers. Prevention and/or prompt recognition of potential safety hazards are key. When in doubt, check it out! Bring all identified potential safety hazards to the attention of your instructor/preceptor. In case of emergencies, take prompt action. Do not delay taking appropriate action.

NEUTROPENIC PRECAUTIONS Nursing Policy #185Neutropenia is the single most important factor associated with infection in immunocompromised patient

Infections that develop in a patient who is neutropenic can be life threatening

Neutropenia is defined as Less than 1000cells/mm3 circulating neutrophils.

Page 16: UM Sylvester Student Orientation Self-Study Packet

Student Orientation Self-Study PacketStudent Orientation Self-Study Packet Page Page 1616 of 21 of 21Normal counts range from 2500 to 6000cells/mm3ANC = absolute neutrophil count important determining patients risk for infections

The most important thing you can do to prevent most infections:

WASH YOUR HANDS!

Use of Alcohol based products in between patients care and washing hands with soap/water:

Helps prevent the spread of disease and infection

All IV sites and central venous catheters Adherence to policies for aseptic technique for CVC care and peripheral site and tube changes per policy

Insertion medication No rectal temperature taken nor any suppositories or enemas to be administered to these patients

Temperature equal to above 100.5°F; vitals signs at least every four hours

Fever may be the only sign of infectionSystem assessment every shift

Protective isolation In hospital when neutrophil count less an 1000cell/mm3 patient placed in private room, no fresh cut flowers, no visitors or staff to care for patient with transmittable diseases

Patient and family education Essential for most patients experience neutropenia while at home

Infection Control

INFECTION CONTROL Nursing Policy #162A thorough infection control program can: Help shorten the patient’s stay/decrease hospital cost

Decrease nosocomial infectionsStandard precautions means: Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).The most important thing you can do to prevent most infections:

WASH YOUR HANDS!

Use of Alcohol based products in between patients care and washing hands with soap/water:

Helps prevent the spread of disease and infection

RESTRAINTS Administrative Policy #143It is the policy of the university of Miami Hospital and Clinics and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer center to decrease restraint use through effective, preventative strategies or use of innovative alternative measures. If alternative measures are ineffective, the less restrictive method of restrain impossible is used and applied and removed by qualified staff. The restraint must be discontinued at the earliest possible time. All patients have the right to the safe implementation of restraint by trained personnel.Patient population (s) or risk factors of those prone to the use of restraints:

Patients who are confused, disoriented, have an unsteady gait and are prone to wandering with a risk for injury, pose a danger to self or others, and which have not responded to alternatives attempted.

Alternatives must be attempted prior to restraint use

Quiet area Nutrition/hygiene Change area Diversional activity Bed alarm Reassurance Family interaction Pain management Commode Orientation Reposition Medications Close to nursing station Sitter Music/TV

Criteria for the use of restraints: Non-behavioral reasons – patient is unable to follow directions to refrain actions that can injure self, impulsivedisconnecting/removing therapeutic devices, medically unsafe attempts at mobility Behavioral reasons – Combative, danger to self and others

Monitoring/Documentation The following will be assessed, monitored and documented: Alternatives attempted Behavior Respiratory status Compromised circulation Restraint device Vital signs (BP, HR, RR) Removal and reapplication appropriately to provide care Whether less restrictive methods of restraint are possible Patient rights, dignity maintained
