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

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
4 CareConnection
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

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.
July2014 11
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.

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.

Ministry (BEAM) board of directors shared, “On

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.

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

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.
