Bedside Shift Reporting

Thank you for your continued support!

HWS Clinical Ops Team

In October,  the North Florida Division began to transition to utilizing Plain Language Codes for activating an emergency response.  This was implemented to promote standardized communication among caregivers across our NFD facilities to ensure clear communication and a coordinated response.  In addition, our patients and visitors will be able to respond appropriately to events that may impact their safety.  

Please see below.

Below is information related to the GE Media Manager – Wound Image Capture application.

The following Divisions are using this technology: San Antonio, North Florida, Central West Texas

Thank you!

Corporate Information Technology Group (ITG) has deployed new eSAF “Core Access” functionality that automates provisioning of Direct Care Nursing Access for Meditech users in North Florida Division.

This new eSAF functionality solves the challenges of new direct care nurses being “hired” into a new or existing Lawson Position Code that is not setup for role-based/entitled system access.

Adoption of standardized Meditech access templates for direct care nurses will provide noteworthy relief to nurses, managers, and ITG personnel. 

Additionally, adoption of standardized Meditech MIS user mnemonics will make it easier to “share” nurses across markets and divisions and eliminate the need to change MIS user mnemonics.

Standardized Meditech access templates for the Division will include more options on the main Meditech menu and some menus may look different, resulting in a period of adjustment as nurses become accustomed to the new access. A minimal adjustment period is expected, with most nurses achieving a level of comfort within hours.

Nursing staff will also be granted access to all facilities in their Division/market.

The deployment of the project is the week of September 1.

Please see attached education.

Please review attached educational handout on The Cactus Smart Sink from our partners in North Florida.

Key Points:

· The sink is for raw pharmaceutical waste only – tablets/capsules, liquid, and fentanyl patches

· Only Controlled Substance pharmaceutical waste is to be placed into the Cactus Sink

· Placing unapproved items in the collection slots of Cactus sink prevents proper disposal of controlled substances and presents opportunities for diversion
