Same Great Protocol, New Name
Beginning Jan. 2, our nationally recognized Heart Alert program will be called STEMI Alert program. The name change is necessary to enhance clarity and align our emergency response protocols for best practices in patient care.
What is a STEMI Alert?
Our organization has a membership with Scottsdale Institute (SI), a not-for-profit membership organization of health systems and academic medical centers across the country.
For many, the holiday season is a time for celebration! Yet, it can also be challenging for our mental and physical health. It's important to prioritize your well-being during this season—and we have some helpful resources to support you!
Now through Dec. 31, take advantage of these holiday skin care specials on products and services at Carilion Clinic Dermatology and Mohs Surgery aesthetic services!
Imagine trying to remember and perform a skill you learned a year ago or even decades ago—like playing an instrument or preparing an old recipe. The task might be challenging. Now, consider having only minutes to remember and perform a critical clinical technique when a patient's life is at stake. For EMTs and emergency physicians, it’s often a reality in high-stakes, non-routine situations.
As we continue to conserve and work with IV fluid vendors, we are not yet out of the woods and ask teams to continue to find ways to conserve.
The Nexus project is a significant commitment to modernize the tools we use within Carilion for administrative and clinical functions. Our aim is a successful transition that limits any impact on our patients, staff and operations.
With this aim in mind, we have decided to extend the go-live date for both Workday and UKG.
We have updated our General Consent to Treatment and Financial Agreement forms.
The General Consent to Treatment allows our team to provide care. The Financial Agreement allows us to bill the patient's insurance for treatment provided. Patients are asked to sign these forms one time a year in the ambulatory setting and with each inpatient encounter.
The English-language versions will go into effect on Monday, Dec. 2. The Spanish-language version will go into effect in the near future.
During this season of giving thanks, we recently asked you to share on Inside Carilion a person or team you are grateful for and why. You responded with resounding gratitude!
We compiled those comments and created a short video highlighting your gratitude. Check out both to see what your colleagues are saying about their Carilion family—and then head into the holiday season knowing you make a difference!
Give the gift of skincare this season with exclusive holiday deals from the Cosmetic Center. The week of Monday, Dec. 2 through Friday, Dec. 6 will be packed with exciting daily deals on popular products and services. They are perfect for gifting or treating yourself!
