New uniforms arriving soon Fabric to enhance Culture of Safety
The long-awaited Vestex® uniforms will be here soon, bringing another layer of protection to our staff, patients and visitors.
in this technology alone is not enough without a serious focus on all aspects of infection prevention and safety. This is one tool in the tool box.
More than three years of planning has led to a milestone in our history: Baptist Health is becoming the first health system in the world to widely adopt specialized staff and patient garments that repel fluids and minimize the risk of transmission of infectious organisms. Investing
“Baptist Health is not making the change because of a problem with infection, but to be proactive in our use of technology to enhance our environment,” said Diane Raines, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Baptist Health’s senior vice president and chief nursing officer.
6 CareConnection
“We believe that adopting Vestex textiles for our uniforms and, ultimately for our patient garments, is a visible demonstration of our absolute commitment to reducing the spread of infections and making hospitals a safer place for patients, families and staff.” Not only will employees and patients be more protected, but patients and their families will be able to identify the role employees play by the colors of the uniforms. More than 6,000 employees systemwide who have direct contact with inpatients have been fitted during phase one. With new uniforms, staff will receive an IProtect pin. This pin signifies the role each of us plays in creating a culture of safety, and it also speaks to the protective qualities of the uniforms.
The Vestex fabric incorporates a durable fluid barrier, antimicrobial properties and a technology for wearer comfort.
Donating used scrubs At the delivery events, there will be containers so that employees can donate their gently used scrubs to third-world countries via a medical relief organization called Global Links. When you donate at the events, you can fill out a form for a 10 percent discount that will be emailed to you for the purchase of future scrubs. Global Links accepts all men’s and women’s scrubs, including tops and bottoms in all sizes up through XL, as long as they don’t have your own name embroidered on them. Institutional names, such as Baptist Health, are acceptable. Scrubs must be clean and in good condition with no rips or stains.

Behind the scenes: from design to delivery
Implementation project has been a big undertaking What does it take to deliver more than 30,000 uniforms to 6,000 employees across the health system? Teamwork! Transforming conference rooms, an empty shell space and a large ambulatory surgery area into mini-retail stores for the delivery of our new uniforms has not been easy. That’s just one of the many tasks that have been accomplished in our journey from uniform design to delivery over the past seven months. An Implementation Team has met biweekly since November and, along with staff from Vestagen, have worked on everything from the styles of uniforms to planning the ordering and delivery and events. A Uniform Task Force of about 60 people helped the Implementation Team with color and design, and staffed events.
Ashley Emans, a Baptist Health consultant in Operational Performance Improvement, was appointed to the role of project manager of the new Vestex® implementation project. Angela Cassinari is co-project manager. “It’s been very multidisciplinary. We’ve had a lot of great help from many different areas in the hospital to make it possible,” Emans said.
The implementation also would not have been possible without the help of Plant Facilities, Environmental Services, Security, Marketing and Materials Management. Diane Raines, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Baptist Health’s senior vice president and chief nursing officer, has been the executive champion, supported by Vestagen staff and the Implementation Team, comprised of Emerging Leaders: Angela Cassinari and Ashley Emans
Shannon Bryant, office specialist Chris Campolettano, research analyst Bryan Lekas, MD Carey Smith, asthma educator Lisa Smith, RN Elizabeth Usher, RN Once the uniforms are delivered, the job is still not over. The team is already working on patient apparel, which will be rolled out in September. For more information about the new uniforms, go to the employee intranet.
“We are excited that this day is finally here,” Emans said. “I can’t wait to walk down the halls of the hospital and see these nice new uniforms. I think it’s going to look really great to our patients and be a great endorsement of the Baptist brand.”

Connecting our patients to their personal health information online For many of us, using the internet to access and manage information has become second nature. We use it for online banking, shopping, calendars, invitations and much more. During the next several months, Baptist Health is bringing that secure, online, access-from-anywhere concept to our patients’ health care information through our new patient portal: MyBaptistConnect.com
With My Baptist Connect, patients can view summary information about their recent hospital visit, including any allergies, medications, and health conditions that were recorded, as well as procedures performed and any lab results that are available at discharge. This safe, secure access will empower our patients with the information they need to participate actively in their health care,
10 CareConnection
ultimately increasing patient satisfaction and improving care outcomes. The portal was piloted in our hospitals with help from Patient Access Services (PAS) staff, who began offering enrollment invitations on May 5 to patients registering and checking into the PACE Surgical Center at Baptist Jacksonville. The Emergency Department began issuing patient portal invitations the following week.

Help us encourage patients to use this valuable tool, to take ownership of their health information and actively participate in their care. That’s changing health care for good! June2014 11
Employee Survey Results
Additional ACPs may help ease nursing workload When it comes to stress, balance and workload, responses from our 2013 Employee Engagement Survey revealed there are opportunities for improvement in the nursing units. In response to that feedback, we are adding a total of 56 associate care providers (ACPs) to the nursing units at all five hospitals.
“Our new CNA program is really a win-win,” said Beth Mehaffey, senior vice president of Human Resources. “It is a great opportunity for employees who are interested in furthering their health careers and it fills an important need in our nursing units as well.”
“In the process of filling these positions, we found there was a lack of qualified ACPs in the area,” said Diane Raines, senior vice president and chief nursing officer. That is why Baptist decided to start its own Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program. (Being a CNA is a pre-requisite for becoming an ACP.)
Free ACP training for qualified employees Interested employees do not need to be in a clinical position to apply, but they must be full-time at Baptist Health for at least 12 months, have no documented counseling within the year and have approval from their managers. There is no cost to employees selected for the program, which includes classroom sessions, simulation labs, computer and hands-on training, and a 40-hour internship in a clinical setting.
Relief already evident Already, nursing units with recent additions of ACPs are noticing a better work environment.
12 CareConnection
Nancy Hedrick-Blom, nurse manager for the Medical/Surgical Progressive Care Unit (5A) at Baptist South, said she has noticed a difference since four ACPs were added to the unit. “We are getting a lot more positive feedback from our nurses,” said Hedrick-Blom. “The teamwork in our unit is better and patient satisfaction scores have improved as well.” Lauren Wilson, an RN in the same unit, said she feels less pressured and stressed at work and she is better able to provide more focused care to her patients. With the addition of Baptist Health’s new CNA program, more of our nurses will feel the same way.
Please apply now! The deadline for applications is July 1. The first 13-week course begins Aug. 5 and will be held from 4:30 – 8:30 pm to accommodate work schedules. For an application and more information about the CNA program, go to the Education Station on the employee intranet under the “Back to School” section.
We Heard You Compared to results from the prior Employment Engagement Survey in 2010, results from the 2013 survey revealed a 9-point percentage drop in the number of people who “totally agree” that there is usually sufficient staff in their department to handle the workload. The results also showed a 10-point percentage rise in the number of people who “totally disagree” with the same statement. Similar findings were evident in questions regarding job pressure and in comments regarding the change to our staffing model. One solution is to have more ancillary help on the nursing units by hiring additional ACPs.

To gather clinical data, U.S. News sent a clinical questionnaire to 183 pediatric hospitals. The remaining one-sixth of the score is derived from a survey of 450 pediatric specialists and subspecialists in each specialty over three years. The 4,500 physicians were asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty, setting aside location and expense. More information is available at the US News website .

The AeroScout Radio Frequency Identification sensor tag records and sends temperature readings via our Wi-Fi network.
Throughout Baptist Health, approximately 600 refrigerator and freezer units must be checked twice each day to make sure they are in the proper temperature range for safe storage. Until now, this was done manually by an employee who would record the temperature on a paper log sheet. In July, Baptist Health will implement a new automated system at all hospitals that will improve quality of care by constantly monitoring all refrigerators and freezers, and sending out alerts when one falls out of the acceptable temperature range for more than the regulatory limit of time.
The process for receiving and responding to alerts differs for other departments, such as the labs, pharmacies and Food Services. “Alerts can also be received via email, smart phone or pager, so we have set up slightly different processes “It is important that in these departments nurses know what to do based on what they think will work best for their if they observe an alert areas,” Brown said.

Valarie Sturgeon, a 47-year-old Jacksonville resident, was on her work computer in mid-April when headaches she had experienced for the past week became excruciating. She was rushed to Baptist South where a CT scan quickly revealed a brain bleed. Sturgeon had an AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation), which led to a hemorrhagic stroke. She was taken by helicopter to Baptist Jacksonville’s new Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center, to see neurovascular surgeons Ricardo Hanel, MD, PhD, and Eric Sauvageau, MD. Because of the size of the bleed, Drs. Hanel and Sauvageau had to perform an open surgery where the malformation was removed with the aid of a high-power operative microscope. Special care was given to every detail, including ensuring her hair was not shaved. “Dr. Hanel said he was going to make it look like nothing had ever happened to me. That is the level of care he gave me,” Sturgeon said. “He told my husband he was going to treat me just like his wife or daughter.” Sturgeon said she owes her recovery to the neurovascular team at Baptist Jacksonville and staff at Baptist South, who determined quickly that she had a brain bleed. The Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center provides improved access to patients, who in the past may have been transported outside the area for treatment of certain types of strokes or brain aneurysms. Patients can enter any Baptist emergency department for evaluation and be confident that if interventional treatment is needed, they can be transported to the Jacksonville campus in a matter of minutes.

Experience matters
The physicians of Southeast Gynecologic Oncology Associates have performed nearly 2,000 robotic-assisted procedures Robotic-assisted procedures using the da Vinci® Surgical System® offer patients with certain gynecologic cancers the advantages of a minimally invasive surgery, including smaller incisions, shorter recovery times and less risk of complications.
Dr. Buckley, who began using the da Vinci Surgical System in 2006, often performs at least a half-dozen robotic surgeries each week and recently completed his 1,000th procedure. His colleague Paul Nowicki, MD, has similar experience and frequency with robotic surgery and will soon approach his 1,000th procedure. SEGO’s newest physician is Jenny Whitworth, MD, who obtained experience with the da Vinci Surgical System during her residency and fellowship. She is performing multiple roboticassisted procedures every week.
However, just as important as the technology is the experience of the surgeon using it. The more experience a physician has using the robot, the better the outcome likely will be for the patient. The physicians at Southeast Gynecologic Oncology Associates (SEGO), now affiliated with Baptist Health, are acknowledged leaders in the area of roboticassisted surgery for complex pelvic procedures.
“The advantage of robotic-assisted surgery for gynecological cancers is that it provides a minimally invasive way of performing complex procedures that were not well-suited for traditional laparoscopic procedures. Virtually all patients with early cervical or endometrial cancer are candidates for da Vinci surgery,” Dr. Buckley said.
“The term robotic-assisted surgery can leave one with the impression that the surgeon’s expertise is not important, but that is not true. It is not a robot, it is a computerized surgical instrument and there is a learning curve associated with using it,” said SEGO’s Stephen Buckley, MD. “Patients who are candidates for da Vinci surgery should find out how much experience and what types of cases the surgeon has done.” Stephen Buckley, MD Jenny Whitworth, MD Paul Nowicki, MD

For more than a decade, SEGO has been dedicated to treating women who have or may have a gynecologic cancer. They became part of the Baptist Health family of physician practices in November 2013. For more information, visit baptistjax.com in the Doctors section.
All user passwords will every 90 days In January 2014, Baptist Health implemented new stronger password requirements for user accounts. However, some accounts are still not configured for password expiration. In July, Baptist Health will begin reviewing all user accounts to ensure they are configured for password expiration every 90 days. This process will take about two months. Groups that will be most heavily impacted are physicians, nurses and other clinical staff. This will affect the password used for SHIELD (Cerner Millennium), Allscripts, Physicians’ Portal, PeopleSoft, PC or Laptop, Tap In Tap Out (TITO) and Single Sign On, VPN, Email and Outlook Web.
Non-employees and employees not at a Baptist Health location should call the Service Desk at 202.7565.
How will my mobile device be affected by an expired password? If you have connected to your Baptist email via your mobile device, it should prompt you for your password. Do not enter any passwords because it has expired and nothing you enter will work. You will need to: n

However, you will not receive advance notification when logging in any other way, including Outlook Web, VPN, TITO, and the Physician Portal.
What if I forget my new password? Employees at any Baptist Health facility or office should: n Go to any PC and launch Internet Explorer (which should open to the Baptist Health Intranet). n Click on Apps & Tools at the top of the page n Click on the Password Reset Tool in the middle of the page. n Select Password Reset and follow the on-screen instructions.

Log in to your PC/laptop or log in to the Physician’s Portal, Outlook Web, or Tap In Tap Out machine and change the password. Enter that new password into your mobile device. IMPORTANT: If you forget to update your password on a mobile device, it will continue to automatically try your old password which will result in locking your user account. If you have multiple mobile devices connected to your Baptist email, update each device with the new password.
What if I recently changed my password? If you were prompted to change your password within the last 90 days, no additional action needs to be taken at this time.

Star:
Karen Holterman, MSN, RNC-OB, has been a nurse for 11 years and has worked at Baptist Beaches for 10 years, including seven in the LDRP (Labor Delivery Recovery Postpartum) Unit. During this time she worked on an evidence-based practice project on the topic, “Does having a Bishop Score less than seven increase the risk of having a Cesarean section?” She graduated in May with her master’s degree in nursing education.
What is the reason you initially became involved in ExCEL? I became involved in ExCEL because I wanted to expand my professional opportunities in my nursing profession and advance my degree.
How have you benefited from the ExCEL program? It has given me the opportunity to recognize the need for education advancement in the nursing profession and the importance of providing quality care and improving patient outcomes.
What advice would you give nurses that are interested in joining ExCEL? ExCEL empowers nurses to improve their profession. Get involved. It makes a difference.

Georgia Heitkemper, Mickey Pittman and Sam Newey are three participants in the Phase 3 Cardiac Rehab Program at Baptist Beaches who recently celebrated their 90th birthdays. Phase 3 is an optional followup program after initial rehab after a cardiac event. They have chosen to continue exercising with their fellow rehabbers where they receive support from staff and physicians and enjoy the camaraderie of the group. They attribute part of their life-long health to the regular exercise they get at Cardiac Rehab each week.
Baptist Beaches has been recognized for reducing its number of Early Elective Deliveries (EED) by the Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative, the Florida Hospital Association, Florida Department of Health and the March of Dimes Florida chapter. The Labor and Delivery unit is committed to providing the best care for mothers and babies.

Exercise can help prevent more than 40 different chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression and anxiety, arthritis and osteoporosis. The Baptist Beaches Cardiac Rehab department is a great example of how exercise can help turn your health around after a major life event, such as a heart attack.
