Thank you one and all for always making a positive difference in our patient's lives and the lives of our community members. Happy Holidays! New CBL A new CBL has been assigned to all nurses, it is very brief and should only take a few minutes to complete. It has information regarding verification of physician privileges and orders to titrate medications. All hospital staff have been assigned a brief CBL related to an active shooter situation and how to determine when to run, hide or fight. Due date will be in 3 weeks for both CBLs. Page 2

6 Telemetry Cleaning Processes - Biomed Biomed cannot take any equipment that is not cleaned or decontaminated from the department. Equipment should be cleaned or decontaminated before Biomed can pick it up. Specifically the Telemetry.

If your class or meeting is immediately AFTER your shift: Clock out at the end of your shift, then clock back in AND float your time to education or meeting. Then you will clock out after your class or meeting. You DO NOT need to float your time when clocking out the last time, you only need to float your time once.

8 W hat is Baby-Friendly? The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative is a global health initiative program launched in 1991, by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF), and that recognizes hospitals and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for infant feeding, and support new mother and infant bonding. South Lake Hospital s Center for Women s Health has begun the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative journey. It is necessary that all South Lake Hospital team members understand the significance of this desired designation, and will offer support and understanding for new mothers, even if not working in the Labor & Delivery unit, but from any hospital department. More info to follow:) Pressure Injury Interventions are most effective when started as soon as the patient is known to be at risk, this includes putting a patient on a specialty mattress in the ED. Once you complete your patient s Braden Score and deem the patient to be at risk for skin breakdown, start interventions IMMEDIATELY. WOUND CARE CORNER Time is crucial. A few hours can make a significant difference when it comes to preventing a pressure injury. Don t wait for Wound Management to recommend a positioning wedge, waffle boots, Barrier Cream, protective Mepilex sacral border dressing and a specialty bed/mattress. These items have been made accessible to you for a reason. Use the Braden Score and your knowledge to put interventions into place ASAP. Remember a specialty mattress/bed needs a physician s order, then call UHS to notify them which bed/mattress you need delivered to the room.
