CheckUpVol. 6, No.6July 9, 1993 Employee Health Simplifies Its Schedule

With a goal of simplifying schedules andimproving service to employees, the EmployeeHealth Offices at both sites established "walk-in" office hours for nursing and clerical staff ona regular hours basis. The new hours will bethe same every work week (excluding holidays)and will allow employees easier access forhepatitis B vaccine, other immunizations, TBskin tests and copies of health records.

Auxiliary Gift: $190,000With one pledge completed, members ofLehigh Valley Hospital Auxiliary wasted no timejumping into another big project.

At the annual luncheon, Barbara Showalter,president, handed a check for $190,000 to PaulNurick, chief operating officer, to not onlycomplete a $400,000 pledge but also get arunning start on a $320,000 drive for diagnosticequipment.

The former pledge was to pay for renovations toSA and purchase 24 new monitors for PCCu.The new drive is for a portable fluoroscopy unitand a thoracic transesophageal ultrasound, bothto be used in Operating Room.

Employee Health Simplifies Its ScheduleThe remaining hours are for appointment-based visits.

Beideman says that about 170 employees visitthe offices daily, and the staff receives nearly500 telephone inquiries every day.

Also being established soon is a "needles tickhotline" to review procedures should anemployee sustain a significant exposure toblood or body fluids. A phone number andstarting date is expected to be announced soon.

The hotline offers a recorded message outlin-ing steps an employee must and can take in theevent of an exposure - most of which,Beideman notes, occur during lapses in soundinfection control procedures.

To that end, ongoing educational efforts haveled to a decline of more than 30 percent in thepast year in both blood and body fluid splashesand puncture wounds.

The hotline counsel includes four steps to take,beginning with cleansing the wound with soapand water, completion of Incident Report(ADM-03) and Certification of Significance(AAO-04) forms, and delivery of the forms tothe Employee Health Office. Within 72 hours- but often as quickly as 24 hours - thesignificance of exposure will be evaluated by anEmployee Health physician.

Should an employee wish a source patient to betested for antibodies to human immunodefi-ciency virus, the employee will be counseledand asked to consent to a baseline HIV test.Infection Control will then approach thepatient's physician and source patient aboutHIV testing.

Testing for HIV and hepatitis B generally takestwo to four days to complete, and the lab isauthorized to give the results only to InfectionControl or Employee Health - not theexposed employee or healthcare providerdirectly. Employee Health will inform theexposed employee of patient test results.

The entire protocol for exposure assessment iscontained in the Infection Control Manual

under the Employee Health section.

In the hotline message, employees will beadvised that "experience has taught us that it isprudent to discuss this exposure with as fewindividuals as possible. Later on, you mayregret having told many individuals about yourexposure." Mindful of the anxiety that goeswith exposure, Employee Health encouragesthose with concerns to contact EmployeeHealth, Infection Control or the AIDS Activi-ties Office.

Recreation CommitteeOffers Football ExcursionFor those who are fans of the PhiladelphiaEagles, Chicago Bears or just pro football ingeneral, the Recreation Committee has anOctober outing being organized by BarrieBorger, Information Services.

The specific contest is the Eagles-Bearscollision at Veterans Stadium on Oct. 10.Tickets are $47.50 per person, which includesround trip bus transportation departing CedarCrest & 1-78 at 10:30 a.m. Those intimatewith the stadium will be interested to knowthat seating is in section 701, rows 19 and 20.

All money is due by July 30.

Borger notes that only one bus is scheduled,and therefore advises fans to order seats earlyby calling ext. 1451.

Family Night at DorneyFor employees who like their thrills a littlecloser to home, the Hospital RecreationCommittee plans a family night at DorneyPark on either Aug. 11 or 12. Cost for thepark and Wildwater Kingdom is $8 for thehours of 5 to 10 p.m., and tickets can be usedeither night. There's an additional $3 per carparking fee at time of admission.

Employees may order tickets directly fromSharon Bartz at ext. 8480, or checks payable tothe recreation committee may be sent directlyto her at CC-Physical Therapy.

It's actually a special barrier to protect workmeninstalling six-and-a-half-foot diameter pipe that will run under parking areasbetween the mechanical building and the John and Dorothy Morgan CancerCenter.

Peer Support Team Plans Training Session••

Another training program for new members ofthe Nursing Peer Support Team is planned forearly November, and nurses interested in joiningthe crew may contact Karen Peterson, RN", atext. 2482, or Marilyn Guidi, RN", at ext. 8936,for additional details.

The group, which presently numbers about 20,is the product of a group of nurses who soughtto address the consequences of cumulative stressamong their peers.

Peterson, who is a clinical facilitator in Psychia-try, observes that nurses tend to be stoic aboutthe running barrage of little stresses, and believethat once a small crisis passes, it's history.

In fact, she explains, it tends to get bottled upand eventually causes burnout "What oftenhappens, " she notes, "is that they leave nursing."

The Nursing Peer Support Team was developed

with the consequences of group stress in mind,and a call for help is usually prompted by anevent that affects a number of people on staffwho have been bottling up individual stresses.

In the past year, the team has received 21 callsfrom throughout the hospital to provide thepatient ear "when only a peer will do." Moreoften than not, it's the opportunity to ventilateand drain cumulative grief and stress that makesthe program so successful.

What also helps, Peterson says, is that the purelyvoluntary service is absolutely confidential. "Wedon't provide answers, " she says. "We listen,and we help nurses find their own answers."

She continues that "the nurses on the team aregreat people, " and the training program itselfallows individuals to better recognize and dealwith stress they face on a daily basis.

About Our PeopleA Tale of Super Daughters

One of the better moments in pride for manymoms is seeing their child deliver the valedictoryaddress at a high school graduation.

But for Ai-Jee Ng, RN, PCCU, it was evenbetter - both her daughters shared the honor atAllen High School in Allentown, and no, they'renot twins. Irene N g and Jennifer N g are a yearapart in age, but Irene skipped up to Jennifer'sgrade in elementary school.

Allen High School officials say they don't thinksiblings have ever shared the honor at theschool, made all the more remarkable becauseboth girls had precisely the same grade pointaverage - right to a ten thousandths of adecimal place.

Yet even more astonishing is that when thefamily immigrated to the United States fiveyears ago from Malaysia, both girls could barelyspeak English. Described by their parents asbeing totally opposite in personalities, they willalso pursue different directions this fall.

It's tough path for certification as a cardiac tech. but it's easier when agroup gets together and makes it a department project Recently tacking theinitials CCTafter their names to signify successful passage of the exam areHeart Station employees (from left) Diane Semmel. Cheryl Sansinger. Donnalee Brown. Amy Frederick and Debra Doddy. Absent was Sue Schauer.

Irene plans to attend Harvard University tostudy biochemistry and economics. She'd like tobe a surgeon, but she doesn't want to abandonher acting career - yes, that's her on the ABCsoap opera All My Children, and you'll be able tosee her in the new Oliver Stone film, Heaven andEarth.

Her acting pursuits meant she missed five of thenine months of school, but studied hard anywayfrom a distance and often with the help ofJennifer and a fax machine.

Jennifer, described as the less competitive of thetwo, will attend Cornell University to major inchemical engineering. "I just want to relax abit," she says.

Tammy Jamison, physician recruiter,HealthSearch, received a bachelor of arts degreein business communications from AllentownCollege on May 22. She previously held anassociate's degree from Montgomery CountyCommunity College.

Lou Bottitta, Information Services, was aspeaker at the Third Annual ClinicallBedsideComputing Conference and Expo onJune 28-29 in Toronto, Ont., Canada.

-1How Dangerous Is That Stuff?

handy.With the proliferation of industrial chemicals inworkplaces, protecting the health of employeesbecame a major concern to the OccupationalSafety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Communicating the exact nature of the hazardto those involved with the chemicals led toHazard Communication Standards and a simpleset of chemical labelling designed to alertworkers to the type of danger involved.

Because potentially hazardous substances are afact of life in a modem healthcare setting,Lehigh Valley Hospital's Safety Departmentplaces a high priority on making sure productsare labelled, informational posters are nearby,and detailed information about the chemical is

I

About Health Hazards RatingsColor coded blue on hazard labels, health hazardratings range from zero (no significant risk tohealth) to 4 (life threatening; major or perma-nent damage may result from single or repeatedexposures). In between are • 1. Slight Hazard- irritation or minor reversible injury possible.• 2. Moderate Hazard - temporary or minorinjury may occur. • 3. Serious Hazard - majorinjury likely unless prompt action is taken andmedical treatment is given.

Huw Easily It BurnsColor coded red on hazard labels, flammabilityratings range from zero (which means thematerials are stable and will not bum unlessheated) to four (which means very flammablegases or very volatile flammable liquids that haveflash points below 73°F and boiling points below100°F).

In between are • 1. Slight Hazard - materialsthat must be preheated before ignition will occur(these have flashpoints, which is the lowesttemperature ignition will occur, at or above200°F). • 2. Moderate Hazard - materials thatstill must be heated before ignition, withflashpoints between lOO°Fand 200°£ • 3.

Product labelling has become standardized, andfocuses on four different types of hazards:health, flammability, reactivity and personalprotection. Each, in turn, is ranked from zero tofour to indicate minimal, slight, moderate,serious and severe hazard. In short, the higherthe numbers, the more potentially dangerousthe product is.

It's law that "MSDS" sheets - that stands forMaterial Safety Data Sheets - are readilyavailable to workers involved in handlinghazardous materials. Those standardized sheetsare designed to provide specific and detailed

Serious Hazard - materials capable of ignitionunder almost all normal temperature conditions,including flammable liquids with flashpointsbelow 73°F and boiling points above lOO°Faswell as liquids with flashpoints between 73°Fand 100°£

Huw Easily It ReactsThe yellow portion of the hazard label indicateshazard levels for reactivity, especially with water.Again the range is from zero (normally stable,even in a fire, and will not react with water) tofour (readily capable of detonation or explosivedecomposition at normal temperatures andpressures).

In between are • 1 - Slight Hazard - materialsthat are normally stable, but can becomeunstable at high temperatures and pressures,which may react nonviolently with water. • 2.Moderate Hazard - Normally unstable, thesematerials will readily undergo violent chemicalchange, including violent reaction with water,but will not detonate. • 3. Serious hazard -materials that are capable of detonation orexplosive reaction, but need a strong initiatingsource, or must be heated under confinementbefore initiation, or materials that will reactexplosively with water.

Illegal Parking WarningBecause of construction, Security has beensympathetic to parking violations for the pastsix months or so, but now that there's plenty ofspace for all cars, a firmer stance has beentaken.

Gerry Kresge, director, Security, says the"generosity has elicited numerous complaintsfrom hospital staff because of our leniency topeople who park inappropriately."

No longer. Cars parked on access roads,

crosswalks, turnarounds and in unauthorizedparking areas will be removed at the owner'sexpense. Kresge says that if your car is towed,you can contact Security through paging tofind out where you can pick up your car.

The new policy went into effect June 14, andhad the immediate effect of solving the prob-lem.

Hospital safety officials stress that all employeesshould know exactly where to find MSDSinformation in their respective work areas andshould take the time to become familiar withthem.

An important third part of the informationprocess is found on posters throughout thehospital that further detail hazard indices with aseries ofletter codes ranging from "A" to "K"that specify what types of protective apparelshould be worn when handling hazardousmaterials. It ranges from safety glasses all theway up to airline hoods and full protective suits.
