New uniforms part of Baptist’s “journey to zero”

Eagerly unwrapping their new uniforms at

distribution events throughout the organization,

employees made history as Baptist Health

became the first health system in the world

to widely adopt new protective uniforms.

“It’s great to see employees

so happy and excited about

our new uniforms,” said Diane

Raines, DNP, RN, NEA-BC,

Baptist Health’s senior vice

president and chief nursing

officer. “The new infection-

preventing technology

enhances our culture of safety

and is a big step toward

protecting our team members

and patients.”

With her new Vestex® scrubs in hand, Cheryl

Palmer, assistant nurse manager for Progressive

Care at Baptist Beaches, is excited about not

having to change her uniform mid-day when

contaminates splash on it. “As nurses, we all

have times where we’ve had to change uniforms

during a shift,” said Palmer. “Because the new

uniforms repel fluids, we won’t have to do

that anymore.”

Ashlene Gormley (pictured

left), a nurse in the NICU at

Wolfson Children’s Hospital,

said, “It’s nice to know that

fluids won’t absorb into your

undergarments. They just

roll completely off the new

material.”

While change can be difficult,

Veronica Scott-Fulton, vice

president of Operations &

Patient Care Services, DNP,

MPH, RN, NEA-BC, said the

bottom line is safety for patients, team members

and their families.

“When I was a nurse in the NICU and PICU, I

used to change in my garage after work because

I didn’t want to expose my children to possible

Page 3: CareConnection July 2014

New uniforms part of Baptist’s “journey to zero”

germs. Employees won’t need to do that with

our new uniforms,” said Scott-Fulton.

Dina Atallah, an X-ray technologist at Baptist

Jacksonville, has always been concerned about

exposing her kids to infections. “I will feel more

comfortable washing these uniforms at home,”

she said.

Sonia Wright, Environmental Services team

leader, has worked at Baptist Health for 32 years.

She’s had about five different uniforms and

thinks her new hunter green Vestex uniform is

the best. “They are very comfortable and much

brighter and cheerful,” she said.

Terri Wallace, RN, MSN, associate director of

nursing in critical care at Baptist Beaches, and

Elizabeth Usher, RN, BSN, CCRN, who works at

Baptist Beaches in the critical care unit, both

pointed out the advantages of color coding.

“Patients will be able to tell which area we

represent based on the color of our uniform. It

makes good sense,” Usher said.

Glenn Milano, supervisor for Pulmonary Care at

Baptist Jacksonville, was part of the team from

Baptist that toured the manufacturing facility in

Nicaragua in April.

“Seeing our uniforms from start to finish gives

me more appreciation for the product,” Milano

said. “I was impressed with the amount of detail

that went into ensuring the products were made

to our specifications.”

Raines said team members will find that the

uniforms will not only provide an added layer of

protection, but they will be more durable and

last longer.

“This is not a coating,” Baptist Health President

and CEO Hugh Greene, FACHE, explained to

listeners of a local radio station recently. “The

technology is built into the fabric itself. This

antimicrobial and fluid repelling aspect doesn’t

ever go away.”

With patient garments made of the same

infection-preventing technology being

Page 4: CareConnection July 2014

distributed later this year, patients will

be doubly protected, Raines said.

“The most important thing we can

do is wash our hands and make sure

the rooms are clean, but this is a

technology that allows us to go a step

above that,” she said.

“We believe this is not just an

investment in uniforms, but in an

innovative technology that will make our

environment safer,” said John Wilbanks,

Baptist Health chief operating officer.

Greene emphasized that our new

uniforms are part of Baptist’s journey

to zero. “We are on this journey

to reduce to zero the number of

hospital-acquired infections and this

fabric technology is one dimension

of this effort in this journey,” Greene

said. “We are convinced this

technology will make a difference.”

What if my order was not available or incomplete?Vestagen will contact you as soon as your item is available

to determine the best method of delivery. You should have

received a voucher to claim your uniforms, and you should

expect to receive your complete order during August.

Please rest assured, all deliveries are expected prior to the

Sept. 1 effective date of the new dress code policy.

What if I need to make an exchange after the delivery events end?Directions are coming soon via email with instructions on

how to make exchanges directly with Vestagen.

What about employees who are hired after the delivery events?There will be two websites available for online purchasing.

More details will be shared in early August.

How should I contact Vestagen with an order issue?Please email [email protected] and Vestagen will

contact you as soon as possible.

Update: Baptist Stroke & Cerebrovascular CenterThe Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center at Baptist

Jacksonville, which opened in March, is already

exceeding projections with more than 220

procedures performed during its first three

months. Emergency transfers from hospitals in

the region account for 60 percent of the cases

performed at our new center.

“We are clearly making an impact on the lives

of the families in and around Jacksonville as the

patient stories continue to mount regarding the

life-saving care the team is delivering,”

said Nicole Thomas, MHA, FACHE, vice

president of Operations and Specialty Services

for Baptist Jacksonville.

Neuro-interventional suite On June 9, our new state-of-the-art neuro-

interventional operating suite opened on the

second floor of the J. Wayne and Delores Barr

Weaver Tower. This room is equipped with the

latest biplane interventional imaging system,

which allows for reduced radiation exposure and

enhanced visibility for the physician.

Endovascular neurosurgery fellows In early July, two endovascular neurosurgery

fellows joined the center to receive expert

training from our internationally renowned

cerebrovascular surgeons Ricardo Hanel, MD,

PhD, and Eric Sauvageau, MD.

Lydia Jones: a Healthy For Life success story

A few years ago, Lydia Jones,

Main Admitting, Baptist

Jacksonville, discovered that

she had severe hypertension

after participating in a

Healthy For Life screening.

After following up with her

physician to confirm the diagnosis, she struggled

to manage her disease for several years. Then

she decided to make some changes and she

became an avid Healthy For Life participant,

making regular visits to see her wellness coach,

Latrice Kempt. Recently, with hard work and

dedication, she has lowered her blood pressure

tremendously. As a result, her physician lowered

her medication dosages.

Jones attributes her success to better nutrition

and fitness habits that have resulted in weight

loss. She eats more vegetables, enjoys a fresh

garden salad with each meal, and removed

fried foods from her diet. She brings a healthy

lunch to work, which helps with portion control

and saving money. She has also stepped up her

physical activity and walks to work.

“Healthy For Life has inspired me to be more

accountable. I stay involved and read the

wellness communications regularly for great

tips that I have incorporated in my life,” said

Jones. “I have learned that small steps lead to

big change.”

Collaboration is moving forward

Our three health systems have made significant progress since

last November, when we announced our intent to explore a closer

relationship while each remaining independent and focused on

our own communities. Our CEOs and boards envision an umbrella

of collaborative leadership that will strenthen us for the future.

The name that has been chosen for our umbrella organization is:

Coastal Community Health. We will continue to operate under our

current brand names, but having a single name for the affiliation

will be helpful if we ever sign contracts that cover all three of us.

This relationship is not going to be a merger or acquisition.

Nobody is buying anybody!

What’s the next step? We roll up our sleeves. With a goal of

reaching a final agreement by calendar year-end, the three CEOs

have selected a few people from each health system to define the

areas of greatest opportunity for collaboration – the things we

can do better or more efficiently together. Carlton Devooght (see

sidebar at right) joins us on July 28 to help orchestrate this work.

To keep the lines of communication open as this work is done,

meetings will be scheduled to answer questions. Information

about the alliance also will be posted on the employee intranet.

Meet Carlton Devooght, J.D., FACHE Carlton Devooght will

become Senior Vice President

of Coastal Community Health

on July 28. Carlton will report

to Hugh Greene and provide

day-to-day oversight of the teams made up of

selected representatives of each of the three

organizations which will help identify top areas

of opportunity that would be enabled by a

formal alliance.

After attending Episcopal High School in

Jacksonville, Carlton received his BA and JD

degrees from The University of Georgia and his

MBA from Brenau University. He also trained

at The Bolles School under Gregg Troy, head

coach of the Florida Gators swimming and

diving teams.

DeVooght has practiced law for 17 years,

spending nearly 9 years as Vice President/

General Counsel & Government Relations at

Southeast Georgia Health System. There, he

has been responsible for oversight of all legal,

regulatory and governmental affairs as well as

having administrative duties.

“My wife, Leslie, and I have family and friends

in Jacksonville, and our children play in a

soccer league that has connected us with

families here,” said DeVooght. With the

youngest of their three children starting first

grade this August, the Devooght clan will be

moving to Jacksonville from Brunswick in early

August. Please welcome Carlton and family to

Jacksonville!

Bridging the language gapOPI project improves patient understanding

The most recent U.S. census data shows that

approximately 15 percent of Jacksonville

residents speak a language other than English in

their homes.

Baptist Health established the Office of

Interpreting Services approximately three

years ago to ensure that adequate resources

are available for our patients who prefer to

communicate in a language other than English.

Previously, all interpreting was provided by

outside agencies.

Since its inception, the office has grown

to include more than 20 employees who

provide interpretation services for 25 different

languages. Currently, the department responds

to approximately 500 requests per month.

“We’ve seen tremendous growth in visits by

patients who know they will have an interpreter

at Baptist Health, either in person, over the

phone or via video,” said Debbie Spiker,

manager of the Office of Interpreting Services.

“By simply calling 202.5411, an interpreter can

be scheduled immediately.”

However, one area identified for improvement

was the inefficiency associated with downtime

when an agency interpreter is being paid, but

is not actively interpreting. Most often this

happens when the patient is waiting in the ED

and the interpreter is being paid to wait with

the patient.

To solve that issue, an OPI (Operational

Performance Improvement) team was created in

June of 2013. Previously, Patient Access Services

Baptist’s Office of Interpreting Services helps improve communication with patients.

Page 11: CareConnection July 2014

A Patient’s Experience A deaf patient who recently

delivered at Baptist Medical

Center via C-section said,

“I knew exactly when my baby was born because the interpreter told me that my baby was crying. Prior to that, I only knew when they showed my baby to me. It was the first time I felt like I was part of my own delivery, and I was so grateful for having the sign language interpreter there.”

Wolfson Children’s patients lend a creative hand to BCMABar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) is now live at all Baptist Health

campuses. Clinicians are using handheld bar-code scanners to enhance the

safety of administering medications to patients. Like any device, bar-code

scanners occasionally may not work, so additional scanners need to be

available. To address this issue, Information Services (IS) came up

with a fun and creative way to involve young patients at

Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

Tina Potts, IS team leader explains, “We decided

to place a box of extra scanners in the office of

the associate director of nursing for each facility,

and have the kids at Wolfson Children’s Hospital

decorate them. This not only makes the boxes

easily recognizable, but it also provides an

opportunity to show these patients how the bar-code

scanners help keep them safe.”

Pat Kirkland, MS, CCLS, CHES, manager of Family Support Services,

worked with her team of child life specialists to have patients decorate

the boxes. “This was an awesome project for our patients. We really

appreciate the kid-friendly approach,” said Pamela Turner, Ph.D., APRN,

CPN, NEA-BC, director of pediatric nursing at Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

(PAS) representatives would call for an interpreter when the patient checked

in. If a Baptist-employed interpreter wasn’t available, an agency interpreter

would be sent. Now, PAS representatives use a blue-colored interpreter

phone or video remote interpretation to register and triage a patient. After

the patient is brought back to a treatment room, the assistant nurse manager

calls for an onsite interpreter.

As a result, patient satisfaction in the Baptist Jacksonville and Wolfson Children’s Hospital Emergency Departments have increased and costs have decreased.“This improvement maximizes patient safety in the absence of an onsite

interpreter, and reduces interpreter downtime, said Spiker. “Also, by

prioritizing Baptist-employed interpreters, faster and more cost-effective

care can be provided to patients who need this service.”

Ginger Griffin named life member of ASRT

Congratulations to Ginger Griffin, RT (R), ASRT, of Baptist Health’s Office of

Accreditation, who was awarded life membership by the American Society of

Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) during their annual meeting in Orlando on

June 27. Only 25 ASRT members have been elevated to life-member status

since the group’s inception in 1938.

Life members must maintain continuous membership for at least 30 years

and participate in a range of volunteer activities that demonstrate their

dedication to the society and the radiologic technology profession.

Griffin graduated from Baptist’s School of Radiologic Technology in 1966

and immediately began working at Baptist as a staff technologist. She joined

ASRT the same year and served on numerous boards, committees and

task forces, including terms as ASRT president and chairman of the board.

She also serves as an on-call adjunct faculty member for the radiologic

technology program at Florida State College of Jacksonville, and is a key

member of their advisory committee.

Advisory board fellows Congratulations to our Baptist Health

leaders who graduated in June from

the Advisory Board Fellowship, an

18-month, advanced leadership

development program that prepares

emerging executives to become health

care’s next generation of leaders.

Special kudos go to LeeAnn Mengel,

administrator, Oncology Service Line

whose graduation project on the

topic, “Facilitation of the Research

and Committee Groups around the

Development of the Women’s Service

Line,” was voted as one of the projects

with the most opportunity.

Transitions in human resources

Ron Floyd is transitioning

toward retirement and

stepping down as director of

Compensation and Human

Resources Information

Systems (HRIS). He will

continue to work part time

as he moves toward the next

phase of his life. “Ron has a long history with our

organization and has served in numerous roles

in Benefits, Compensation and HRIS,” said Beth

Mehaffey, senior vice president and chief human

resources officer. “He has contributed greatly to

our team, including leading the creation of an

HRIS function, which has been instrumental in

automating HR processes.”

To help ease the transition, Camille Cossa

is assuming a new role as director of Total

Rewards. She will continue to oversee Employee

Benefits and Wellness, and will assume

leadership for Compensation. Within the

Compensation department, Kimberly Johnson

has been promoted to senior compensation

analyst and Heather Morgan was recently

promoted to compensation analyst.

We also welcome Robin Huber as our new

manager of HRIS. She comes to Baptist

from CSX and has many years of PeopleSoft

experience. She is leading the HRIS team, which

includes Marlene Miller and Tara Priest.

Meet this month’s Star: Sherry Woody, Baptist Nassau

What is the reason you initially become involved in ExCEL?I began my involvement with the initial program

when it was called PEERS. I realized I could be

part of a special program that would recognize

and reward me for going above and beyond to deliver best-practice

care to my patients. It allows me to evaluate my own practice and

be part of process changes that can make a difference in successful

patient outcomes. As the ExCEL program has evolved, along with our

Magnet successes, the two have become synonymous with educational

enhancement, professional maturity and quality patient care.

How have you benefited from your involvement in ExCEL?It encourages and motivates me to work toward professional growth. My

participation has resulted in rewards and recognition for developing my

clinical expertise in perioperative nursing.

What advice would you give nurses who are interested in participating in ExCEL?Nursing is an admirable and rewarding profession. Be proud of it, own

it and make a difference! ExCEL gives you an avenue to enrich your

professional goals and make a difference in patient outcomes using

best practices.

Sherry Woody, RN, CNOR, has been a nurse for 21 years, and 18 of those years have been with

Baptist Health. She began in Labor & Delivery at Baptist Nassau and then transferred to Labor

& Delivery at Baptist Jacksonville. After living in Alabama for three years, she returned to Baptist

and continued her career in the operating room at Baptist Eye Institute. She is now back at Baptist

Nassau, where she works in the Operating Room.

Woody has participated in ExCEL/PEERS every year since the program’s inception. She served as the

staff nurse representative on the PEERS system program development committee and continued to

serve when the program changed to ExCEL. She also was the co-site coordinator for Baptist Nassau

until 2013.

ExCEL for nursesExCEL (Excellence in

Clinical Education and

Leadership) is a self-

managed, professional

development program

for qualified registered

nurses. It enables nurses

to select and pursue

opportunities that

BENEFITS NEWS

No co-pay for Florida Blue wellness benefits

Just a reminder: Employees

covered by the Baptist

Health medical plan,

offered through Florida

Blue, do not have a co-pay

for wellness benefits when

using an in-network physician

for annual preventive visits or screenings,

including annual physicals, annual well woman

visits, mammograms, prostate screenings,

immunizations and colonoscopies.

The Florida Blue preventive schedule outlines

the frequency of each covered wellness service

based on age and gender. (For example, how

often a mammogram is covered based on a

woman’s age.) The schedule can be found on

the intranet in the Employee Experience section,

under the Benefits link. Please note that if your

physician performs services or lab work not

included on the preventive schedule, you may

have a member responsibility for those services.

Emerging Leaders revamp technology service request process

An Emerging Leaders group recently

completed a project to increase customer

satisfaction with the Information Service (IS)

department’s technology service request (TSR)

process. The team surveyed employees who

submitted TSRs during a 60-day period, and

here is what they learned:

n Nearly 80 percent of respondents felt their

requests were handled with enthusiasm.

n There is room for improvement in

customers being kept up-to-date about

the status of their requests.

n Less than half were satisfied with the

overall process.

Latrice Kempt, a wellness coach in Employee

Health, was one of the Emerging Leaders

who worked with IS on this project. She

said, “By surveying customers, we were able

to hone in on what to work on. Seeing the

comments really pointed us toward improving

communications.”

The group also mapped TSR processes,

interviewed IS subject matter experts and

analyzed data. They plan a follow-up survey to

see if their recommendations have increased

customer satisfaction.

“This has been an opportunity for the

Information Services team to work with our

Emerging Leaders to improve a very complex

service,” said Dave Dully, CHCIO, vice

president, Information Technology, and chief

technology officer.

Cindy Budzinski, a pharmacist at Baptist

Jacksonville, said, “I had no idea how

complicated the TSR process was. Learning

about the prioritization, resources and the

sheer number of requests gave me a better

appreciation for what IS does.”

In addition to Kempt and Budzinski, the

Emerging Leaders group consisted of: Marty

Brown, team lead, Web Technologies; John

Cook, supervisor, CE-Tech; and Cortney

Surrency, program coordinator, Community

Health. Cliff Mika, OPI

consultants, helped guide the

group in the use of Lean/Six

Sigma tools, and Pam Kota

was the IS process owner.

One of the group’s recommendations was to add an email address so TSR submitters could ask questions.

Respiratory Therapy

Kathy Deem has been a respiratory

therapist at Baptist Beaches for more

than 16 years. Her caring attitude

makes a big difference in her patients’

recoveries. She also volunteers for

multiple committees, including the

Beaches Employee Advisory Team and

as a United Way champion each year.

Great food driveThe summer food drive was a big success this

year, collecting more than 302 pounds of food

to help feed families in need. Janice Kiernan,

senior consultant, Patient Experience, and

member of Beaches Emergency Assistance

Ministry (BEAM) board of directors shared, “On

behalf of the staff and clients at BEAM, thank

you to all who contributed to the summer food

drive. Along with the fresh food harvested from

the Grace Garden, community food drives help

to keep the BEAM Food Pantry well stocked.

This allows BEAM to feed more needy families,

especially during the summer months when

children are not having some of their meals

at school.”

Thank you teen volunteers

This summer’s Teen Volunteer Program,

sponsored by the Beaches’ Auxiliary, has

been very successful with nearly 100 teens

participating. Many are return volunteers, and

several are sons and daughters of employees.

Most are required by their high schools to earn

community service hours, but many are also

looking for an opportunity to learn more about

the medical field. They are assigned to nursing

units, Outpatient Registration, the Information

Desk, Imaging, Jacksonville Orthopaedic

Institute, the Wilson Cancer Care Center, the

Emergency Department, and both inpatient and

outpatient surgery areas.

We thank the Auxiliary Committee who manages

this program. They are led by Jerri Snavley and

include LouAnn Wolford, Donna Mount, Karen

Crews, and University of North Florida interns

Danica Mandarano and Jeanette Bateh.

What makes Wolfson Children’s ERs different?You may know that Baptist Clay Medical Campus features an

ER designed for the unique medical needs of children. But

what makes it so special? From the moment you enter the

Wolfson Children’s-themed waiting area, you are greeted with

a child-friendly environment. Beyond the cheerful decor, here’s

what our ER for children offers:

every level of emergency care for children.

n Wolfson Children’s ERs have fellowship-trained pediatric

emergency medicine physicians.

n Specially trained nurses and other health care staff use pediatric treatment protocols for the

healing and safety of children.

n Specialized pediatric medical equipment, imaging technology and techniques increase

comfort and reduce radiation exposure.

n Dedicated treatment areas and waiting areas are designed just for children and their families.

The Baptist/Wolfson Children’s Emergency Center is conveniently located on Fleming Island, just off

U.S. 17 and Village Square Parkway, at 1771 Baptist Clay Drive.

Video goggles help children relax during MRIs

Wolfson Children’s offers a

new technology that allows

children to watch movies

using special goggles.

Cinemavision Goggles help

distract young patients while

they are inside the MRI.

Wolfson Children’s is the

only hospital in northeast

Florida to offer Cinemavision

Goggles, thanks to an

anonymous donor. “They

will help so many more

of our kids have MRIs without sedation,

especially kids with short attention spans and

claustrophobia, as well as very young children,”

said Laura McCalvin, Child Life specialist in the

Radiology department.

The Child Life department also offers “MR-I

Am Ready!” to help alleviate patients’ anxiety

by preparing children and their parents for the

MRI and by guiding them all the way through

the procedure. One week before the MRI, they

come to the hospital, where McCalvin shows

pictures of everything the child will see, explains

the sequence of events, and teaches coping

strategies.

Nearly all patients who have completed the

training have successful, sedation-free MRIs,

reports McCalvin. “It makes it possible to

schedule the MRI sooner than would be

required with sedation and gets children and

their families back to their normal routines safely

and quickly.”

Autism elopement training success story

A patrol officer who participated in a training

session on elopement behavior (wandering

off) in individuals with autistic spectrum

disorder, offered by Wolfson Children’s Rehab,

recently reported how the training helped

him in the field. On April 15, Courtney Ward,

OTR/L, pediatric occupational therapist, and

Lauren Papke, SLP, pediatric speech-language

pathologist, provided the first training for

deputies of the Clay County’s Sheriff Office.

In July, Papke received an email from Sgt. Keith

Smith of Operations Bureau/Patrol Division,

stating, “This past weekend we encountered a

23-year-old nonverbal autistic male. The training

and information we received was a huge part

of us being able to handle this situation and

getting the positive outcome that we did. Thank

you so much for what you did.”

Children’s Research Center

In addition to her strong

clinical skills and the

connection she develops

with families, Shaheen has

a special ability to share her

positive energy with others.

Earlier this year, she spread

some cheer to the 6 Weaver

staff with treat bags with affirming statements

like “We would crumble without you,” “You

are sun-sational,”and “You’re a real Life Saver,”

which were greatly appreciated.

Greg Hermann, RN,

Pediatric Intensive

Care Unit

A young girl had been in the

PICU for brain mapping and

she was not interacting with

any of the staff. Hermann

requested a bottle of pink

nail polish and painted her

fingernails, making a special

connection with this patient

that was touching to those who witnessed it and

demonstrated his compassion as a caregiver.

Sue Fazio, recreational

therapist

Peds Behavioral Health

Fazio is deeply committed

to providing heart-centered

holistic care to patients,

families and staff. She has

been very helpful in the

development of Wolfson

Children’s Integrative

massages to patients and team members. She

also seeks to expand her knowledge base and

skills by learning new modalities such as healing

touch and breath training.

Lisa Teel, nurse manager

Peds Cardiac ICU

A nurse who works with

Teel says she is an excellent

manager who develops

strong relationships with

patients and families. She

came in to work on her day

off one Saturday to sit with a

patient so the mother could

have a break. Staff on the

unit also appreciate her positive attitude and

kind gestures.
