For hospitals around the world, data and databases are the keys to improving processes, patient outcomes, and gaining a better understanding of the needs and experiences of one’s community. To keep track of this data registries are used both at a facility, state, national, and sometimes even worldwide level.
Bryce is a very kind, knowledgeable, attentive person. He makes you feel comfortable with his smile and positive vibes. Bryce makes sure all of the patients and people that are with the patient are as comfortable and well taken care of as they can be. I have never met an employee more caring than Bryce. Congratulations Bryce!
The last couple of Fridays we have been celebrating units that have been CLABSI free for 1 year or longer.
CLABSIs financial cost per patient is about $48000. Patients will have a longer hospital stay, increased morbidity and mortality. Being CLABSI free for our patients means they are able do the things that brings meaning to their lives, more quality time with their families and doing the things they enjoy!
I'll like to recognize my Carilion Clinic OB/GYN at Jefferson & Highland Dept., Healthcare Administrative Assistants for the work they do every day. It's hard to choose 1 Carilion Value as they all applied to them, but I had chosen Commitment because these ladies are here every single day with a positive attitude and great personality. Clarissa, Shameka, Kylie, Jamey, Maria, Maegan, Malisa, Shauna, and Margarita is the Medical Interpreter, but she is part of the team as we all work together. Thank you, ladies for all you, we appreciate you all every single day.
This marks a great week for Carilion Clinic volunteers! From Roanoke to New River Valley to Franklin Memorial, Carilion Clinic has celebrated these wonderful team members as part of National Volunteer Week.
Last week, Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Program Director Macy Ware accepted an award for Carilion Children's as the highest fundraising medium market in 2023 at CMN's annual conference. Congratulations!
The Advance Care Planning Council would like to give recognition to the members of the group who helped organize the National Healthcare Decisions Day Event on April 16th and 17th, 2024.
We were able to spread awareness about Advance Directives and Advance Care Planning to employees at nine different locations throughout the system.
We distributed 200 advance directives and had meaningful conversations with various employees, students, and patients.
This event would not have been possible without the team's support.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered at and attended our Earth Day tables yesterday! Across the 6 different tabling locations, we handed out 500 tree seedlings, 500 wildflower seed bombs and other fun giveaways.
Carilion neurology team participated in the annual MS Walk in Roanoke on April 13. Our own Dr. Carlos Mora and Marion Thomas, N.P. were the Master and Mistress of Ceremonies for the kickoff.
Cheers to Officer Paulk and Laura T. for going the extra mile and navigating the PACU to find a pharmacy fridge that was alarming with a high temperature in the middle of the night. Way to save the drugs!!
