CFMH September Great Catch Award

Submitted by jscraig on

Congratulations to Kristin Brandenberger, Pharm D.!!

She is awarded the CFMH Great Catch Award for September 2020 for going above and beyond to verify that the antibiotic prescribed would cover the resulted urine culture after she reviewed the unresolved results list from the ED and saw that the prescribed medication, prior to culture results, needed changing. Kristin took care of this patient's needs ensuring that the antibiotic order was changed to cover the culture.

9 Mountain PCU is the BEST!  I just wanted to thank everyone on 9 Mountain PCU that helped us work around our equipment issues in the EMU.  There were many people involved that helped us get our surgical patient transferred from a room that was not working to our other surgical monitoring room!  This commitment to our patients allowed us to quickly get this patient moved so we could continue to monitor and not miss any seizures!  We appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication to doing what is best for our patients!

Submitted by eaayers on

I wanted to thank and recognize Kelli for her kind and outstanding help in helping guide me and my group of new leaders with Accreditation this year as we prepare for another survey.  She has taken the time to ensure we are comfortable and understand the process with the new tools.  She's been patient and so very helpful.  She put my mind at ease and explains things so clearly and simply.  When you have a lot of different sections in different cities, it is a stressful time to ensure we are ready for our Joint Commission surveys but she helps keep you calm and steady!&nb
