Great Catch!!! Elise Taylor’s awareness prevents harm for patients.

Elise Taylor RN, 8MICU, great awareness leads to a Great Catch!  Elise noticed that an incorrect fluid was set to go in the CRRT machine.   The incorrect fluid could have easily been overlooked and potentially damaged the CRRT machine.  If Elise did not notice this, a patient may have been harmed while using the CRRT machine. 

Thanks Elise!  Your awareness and SafeWatch report represents Carilion’s value of Courage: Doing what’s right for our patients without question.     

If you are aware of any near misses or unsafe conditions please be sure to report those in SafeWatch.
