Patients who suffer a hypoglycemic event may have an increased length of hospital stay and a higher risk of long-term mortality and cognitive decline—not to mention, a poor patient experience.

That’s why minimizing hypoglycemia is essential to safe patient care and such an important measure of the quality of care organizations provide, and why we are making this a quality measure in our hospitals.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.

We're actively working on collecting, identifying, digitizing and archiving thousands of photographs from Carilion’s history.

Preserving and maintaining our history is the best way to know where we’ve been and how far we’ve come and to appreciate all the health care workers that came before us.

But there are mysteries in our archives—and you can help us solve them!

To appreciate how far you’ve come, sometimes you have to remember where you began. That could easily be the case at CRMH for 8 Mountain ICU and 9 Mountain ICU.

On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The law ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

When you attend an in-person meeting, you probably know what you are expected to do. But what about a virtual Teams meeting? Do you know what your role is and what you can do with the technology in that role? 

Teams meetings have three basic roles: organizer, presenter and attendee. Each role plays an important part before, during and after a meeting.

In our day-to-day work, we may come into contact with products that contain potentially hazardous chemicals — for example, Sani-Cloth Plus germicidal disposable cloths used for disinfecting surfaces or alcohol prep pads used for medical procedures. It’s important to be aware of the chemicals we use and the safety measures we should take when using them.
