Rolling out our germ-zapping robots
New germ-zapping robots add an protection to improve safety Baptist Health has added a unique new device to our infection-prevention toolkit to enhance the safety of our patients and team members. The seven Xenex® Germ-Zapping Robots™ at our hospitals feature a chemical-free, environmentally friendly technology that uses ultraviolet light to destroy dangerous microorganisms and reduce germs. They augment, but do not replace, our extensive traditional cleaning procedures. The Xenex robots, which disinfect a room in about five to 10 minutes, are being used in ICUs and other high-risk areas, such as patient isolation rooms, after the room has been cleaned in preparation for a new patient. They also are being used in surgical and procedural areas at night and during hours when the rooms are not in use.
“These devices are part of phase 2 of our Quality and Safety Plan, which was enthusiastically supported by our Baptist Health Board of Directors.” - Kristin Vondrak, DNP, ARNP, BC, NE, CPHQ, vice president and chief quality officer
A cadre of Environmental Services technicians and OR technicians has completed classroom and hands-on training on operation of the devices.

nother layer of “These devices have been proven to reduce hospital acquired infections from pathogens such as C. diff and MRSA, and they are a welcome addition to our overall infection prevention strategy, but it’s important to understand they are not a magic bullet,” said Kristin Vondrak, DNP, ARNP, BC, NE, CPHQ, vice president and chief quality officer. “I can’t emphasize enough that practicing good hand hygiene remains one of our best defenses against infection.”
Safety Features
This sign on a door indicates that room cleaning by a robot is currently in progress and no one should enter. An orange cone-guard is also placed outside the door to alert you of the disinfection. Although brief exposure is not harmful, the Xenex robot also includes a motion detector that will stop the pulses if anyone enters the room.
Things to know about the Xenex system: n Exposure to the bright, powerful UV light used by the Xenex robots can be irritating to the eyes and skin. n

For those who may be photosensitive to flashing lights, please note the light does not pulse quickly enough to trigger seizures. No one should be in a room where a robot is operating; however, it is safe to watch the robot pulsing through a glass window. When the robot is in use, you will hear a loud clicking sound as the UV light is zapping.
To learn more about the Xenex germ-zapping robots, see the Q&A sheet and photo gallery posted on the Infection Control and Prevention section of the intranet .

National Patient Safety Week is March 8-14 2015 National Patient Safety Goals
This week reminds us that, as professional caregivers, we are all called to be vigilant, mindful and sensitive to all facets of our work in order to promote the safest environment possible. This year’s national theme, “United in Safety,” reinforces the message that patient safety is a goal we all share and by working together, we can maintain a Culture of Safety that minimizes adverse events and provides the highest quality care possible. During National Patient Safety Week, team members will receive a series of “spotlight” emails that focus on important activities that enhance our Culture of Safety. Remember, if you have a specific patient concern, please call the Patient Safety Hotline at 202.SAFE (7233).
The Joint Commission established the first set of National Patient Safety Goals in 2003 and provides updates each year to help health care organizations address specific areas of concern in regard to patient safety. For 2015, there are no new National Patient Safety Goals for hospitals. However, there are some minor language changes in the goal related to labeling medications. A summary sheet of the expanded goals, provided by the Joint Commission, and the full chapter are available on the intranet under Support Departments/Risk Management. n n n n n n n

Good catch, Christy Foster! Her vigilance helped keep an
elderly Emergency Department patient safe Christy Foster, RN, a Flex Team nurse and paramedic, was caring for an elderly woman on a very busy day in the Emergency Department at Baptist Jacksonville when she became aware that an anti-seizure medication had been ordered for the patient. Knowing this patient had been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, Foster thought the medication ordered seemed odd, so she checked her medical record and didn’t find anything to indicate the patient had a history of seizures or neurological disorders. Foster brought this to the attention of the attending physician, who realized the medication had been ordered for the wrong patient and was able to correct the situation to avoid an adverse event. “This was a great catch that played a major role in keeping the patient safe,” said Risk Manager Pamela Bullard, RN, BSN, LHCRM. “The nurse was aware and diligent. She stopped and paid attention to her concerns. She investigated and verified prior to acting.”

New leadership at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville Tammy Daniel, DNP, MA, RN, NEA-BC, Vice President, Patient Care Services
Keon Falkner, MHA Vice President, Operations
Tammy Daniel, who has served for seven years as vice president of Patient Care Services for Baptist South, has accepted the position of vice president of Patient Care Services for Baptist Jacksonville. During March, she is transitioning to her new role and dividing her time between both campuses. A search is underway for her replacement at Baptist South.
We welcome Keon Falkner, who joined the Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville administration team in February as vice president of Operations. In this role, he is overseeing Imaging, Rehab Services, Pulmonary Services, Environmental Services, Food and Dietary Services, Safety and Security, and Audiovisual Services at the Jacksonville campus.
“Tammy has been with us through a tremendous amount of growth and many exciting times,” said Baptist South Hospital President Ron Robinson, FACHE. “She was an integral part of our team during the hospital’s infancy, and we are better for having her with us these last seven years.” Prior to her tenure at Baptist South, Daniel served as vice president of Clinical Services at Florida Hospital Flagler in Palm Coast. Her nursing specialty is critical care. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa; a Master of Arts degree in Health Services Management from Webster University; and a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Rush University in Chicago.
During a “Change of Command” ceremony organized by Hospital President Michael Mayo (center) in February, Nancy Simon (left), passed the Baptist Jacksonville flag on to Tammy Daniel (right), the hospital’s new vice president of Patient Care Services.
Falkner previously worked for Baptist Memorial Healthcare in Memphis, Tenn., and most recently was assistant administrator of Baptist Memorial Hospital-Desoto. He also served as administrator/ CEO of Baptist Memorial Hospital-Lauderdale, a critical access facility, and as assistant administrator of Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union City. “Keon’s experiences as a successful operations administrator in multiple acute-care settings will be an added value to our leadership team and to the Baptist Health system,” said Baptist Jacksonville Hospital President Michael Mayo, FACHE. Falkner has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of Memphis and a Master of Healthcare Administration degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives. His office is located on the eighth floor in Administration, and his phone number is 904.202.1432.

Expanding our emergency services for children and adults Two new locations are planned for late 2016 Town Center Baptist Health is in the final stages of acquiring land at the intersection of St. Johns Bluff Road and Town Center Parkway for a 15,540-square-foot, free-standing emergency center. The planned Baptist Emergency Center will open in late 2016, staffed by board-certified pediatric and adult emergency medicine physicians. The center also will include imaging and laboratory services.
Dunn Avenue On a 40-acre site at the intersection of Dunn Avenue and Interstate 295 in Northwest Jacksonville, Baptist Health plans to create a medical campus similar to Baptist Clay in Fleming Island. It will include a 24/7 free-standing emergency center for children and adults, imaging and laboratory services, and a medical office building for Baptist Primary Care and other medical specialties in phase one. Future phases may include an ambulatory surgery center.
New Cardiovascular Service Line director Ron Roberts, MHA, RRT, has been named director of the Cardiovascular Service Line for Baptist Health, a position previously held by Susan Allen-Umerley. Roberts joined Baptist Beaches in 2007 as director of Cardiopulmonary Services at Baptist Beaches and transferred to Baptist South in 2010 where he has served in the same role. He has made tremendous contributions at both facilities. In his new position, Roberts, along with the cardiologists of Baptist Heart Specialists, will lead efforts to enhance the quality, service and growth of the cardiology service line. A registered respiratory therapist, Roberts has a Master of Health Administration from University of Phoenix. He begins his new role on March 15 and will be located on the first floor of the Howard building.

Meet this month’s
Star:
Emily E. Rineberg, BSN, RN, CPN, Wolfson Children’s Hospital Emily Rineberg has worked on Wolfson 4 since 2004. She began part time as a staff nurse while attending the University of Florida to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
After graduation, she began working full-time. Currently, she is attending Jacksonville University and has recently taken on the role of acting nurse navigator on Wolfson 4.
Why did you initially become involved in ExCEL? I started with ExCEL as I became more involved on my unit. After I began working full time, I became our Unit Council chair and served on several committees. ExCEL is a great way to be rewarded for being involved at Baptist Health. I was lucky to have strong encouragement from Sharon Simmons, my nurse manager, as well as Amanda Brown, our clinical nurse leader at the time, and Ann Dixon, our ExCEL champion.
How have you benefited from the ExCEL program? Being part of ExCEL helps you get involved in activities that are outside of your comfort zone. As an ExCEL nurse, I was a SHIELD super user during the Electronic Medical Record implementation, as well as for Bar Code Medication Administration. Being involved this way helps you become more knowledgeable in these areas and makes the implementation easier for you. Participating in Evidence-Based Practice workshops and lectures has added to my knowledge base. ExCEL also encourages committee participation. I serve as Shared Governance Clinical Practice chair for Wolfson Children’s Hospital, and because of this role, I had the privilege of attending the Magnet Conference last October. It has given me the opportunity to work with our great leaders at Baptist Health.
What advice would you give to nurses who are interested in joining ExCEL? I encourage nurses to think about the activities they are already involved in, or are interested in, and think about the ExCEL program as a reward for being involved. Talk with the ExCEL champion on your unit, who can help you figure out what you need to do meet the requirements. It’s easier than you think, and there are plenty of people to help you meet your goals.

Team members extend mission of caring around the world In addition to delivering exceptional care in our community, many Baptist Health team members take time to extend the mission of caring to other communities and cultures throughout the world. Several team members have recently returned from medical mission trips.
Cambodia Sarah Hollifield, RN, of Baptist Nassau and Christy Foster, RN, a Flex Team nurse and paramedic, participated in Project Angkor, a humanitarian organization that provides free medical care to patients and free training to local health care professionals and volunteers throughout Cambodia. During the week-long trip, they triaged hundreds of patients each day as part of a larger team of 150 medical volunteers who provided treatment and medications to approximately 5,000 people. The team also fitted and provided free prostheses to amputees who lost limbs because of land mines that are still active throughout Cambodia. In this photo (above), Hollifield is in the blue shirt on the left and Foster is in the blue shirt on the right.
Haiti In January, Sarah Luffman, RN, who works in the Progressive Care Unit at Wolfson Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, traveled to Jacsonville, Haiti, with a team from Sante

Total, a nonprofit organization associated with the Tulane School of Medicine. Jacsonville is a small village with no electricity or running water. Patients come from the local village, as well as walk from other villages that are several hours away. Luffman triaged patients, provided glucose checks and assisted physicians with minor procedures as part of a team that treated about 130 patients each day.
Jamaica
Last November, Michael Gayle, MD, chief of Pediatric Critical Care at Wolfson Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, and David Doward, MD, a pain management specialist with Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute, were part of a team of 32 physicians, residents and other medical professionals who traveled to rural areas of Western Jamaica to treat patients at six clinics and perform surgery at three hospitals. The trip was organized by Kenneth Jones, MD, a general surgeon from Jacksonville. The team treated more than 625 patients, including some who had been on waiting lists for at least two years.
904 Magazine names Baptist Health a “Company with Heart” Baptist Health was listed on the honor roll of Companies with Heart in the February issue of 904 Magazine, an annual salute they publish to recognize companies in Northeast Florida that put community and giving in the forefront of their agendas. The magazine specifically recognized Baptist Health for providing grants that accelerate access for students who need behavioral health care; paying the salary of the administrative director for Nassau County’s only indigent clinic; and funding a program that provides food for low-income students. Providing health screenings at events like this Back-to-School Festival is one of the many ways that Baptist Health shows it is a company with heart.

He was one of the founding physicians of Baptist ENT Specialists, which was created in 2011 when Baptist Health bought his practice at the Salisbury Road location where Iman Naseri, MD, continues to practice.

Refill. Reduce. Refresh. Join the Healthy For Life team Wednesday, March 11, to celebrate the opening of our new water bottle filling stations at Baptist Jacksonville and Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Ribbon-cutting Ceremony, Noon – 12:30 pm
Congratulations to the Baptist Center for Bariatrics team for being recognized by Florida Blue with the Blue Distinction Center designation in bariatric surgery, effective January 2015. This designation is part of the national Blue Distinction Centers for Specialty Care program. To receive it, a health care facility must demonstrate success in maintaining patient safety, as well as bariatricspecific quality measures, including reduction of complications and readmissions for gastric stapling and/or gastric banding procedures. The facility must also have earned national accreditations at the facility level and the bariatric care-specific level. “We are pleased to be recognized by Florida Blue for our patient safety and health outcomes,” said general surgeon Craig Morgenthal, MD, medical director of the Baptist Center for Bariatrics. “Bariatric surgery is increasingly becoming recognized as an effective treatment for morbid obesity and can improve or resolve medical problems related to obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and increased risk for stroke and heart attack.”

Yvex Foor, RN, Medical Surgical Unit Yvex Foor’s co-workers say that no matter how busy she is, she always finds time to help them. A team member shared, “One night, when we were short staffed, Yvex went out of her way to assist me with a confused patient. She cleaned the patient, started a new IV and took her vital signs. She also responded to this patient’s bed alarm many times when I was gowned up in isolation rooms.” A family member said, “My father had episodes of shortness of breath, which caused anxiety in all of us. She stayed at the bedside to calm him before the respiratory therapist arrived.” R V I C

Baptist Beaches achieves Advanced Primary Stroke Center Accreditation The Joint Commission has awarded Baptist Beaches accreditation as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center. This accreditation means that Baptist Beaches continuously provides safe, high-quality stroke care, treatment and services, and follows the clinical practice guidelines set forth by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. The Joint Commission awarded the advanced certification after an on-site review in November 2014. “We are glad to be recognized for having the skills and technology in place to give stroke patients the immediate care they need,” said Baptist Beaches Hospital President Joe Mitrick. “Seconds can make a difference in preventing severe brain damage or death.” Neurologist Casey Carrigan, MD, director of the Baptist Beaches Stroke Center, said, “Our Beaches team is fully trained and ready to receive, diagnose and treat patients with acute stroke.”
Lunch and Learn explores hereditary risk for cancer Annie Parker, whose life is depicted in the movie “Decoding Annie Parker,” appeared on WJXT Channel 4’s morning show on Jan. 28. She was in town to speak at an event hosted by Baptist Beaches at TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse on the topic, “Understanding your Hereditary Risk for Cancer.” A three-time cancer survivor, her life was the inspiration for the movie, which is about the discovery of the BRCA 1 gene mutation.
Also presenting at the Lunch and Learn, which was attended by 115 people, was Melinda Fawbush, MSN, ARNP, AGB-BC, coordinator of the Cancer Risk Assessment and Genetics Program at the Baptist Health Hill Breast Center. Fawbush discussed the screenings that are available to show cancer risk and how to research your family’s cancer history. The event was made possible by a generous donation from the Pink Ribbon Gold Classic, which raises money for cancer awareness and research.

In her new position, Edmonston will work closely with Michael Gayle, MD, medical director for Regional Outreach; manage operations of the Wolfson Children’s Specialty Centers in Daytona Beach, Fleming Island, Lake City and Brunswick, Georgia; and develop and maintain relationships with hospitals and physicians serving children in North Florida and South Georgia.
Previously a Business Development specialist in Physician Enterprise, she has a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce and Business Management from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and a Master of Health Administration from University of North Florida.
New name for Nemours Nemours Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville, a pediatric care partner of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, has a new name. Effective this month, Nemours Children’s Specialty Care is the new name for Nemours Children’s Clinic. The name change is in response to consumer research and reflects their desire to provide families, providers and partners with a better understanding about what Nemours does in Jacksonville. The change also aligns Nemours’ North Florida facilities with naming conventions used by others across the Nemours Children’s Health System enterprise. “We have a new name, new signage and a new way to talk about Nemours, but one thing will always remain: our promise to the children and families we serve,” said Michael Erhard, MD, medical director of Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, Jacksonville.

Working for stronger child safety laws Florida’s Child Restraint Law for kids riding in cars was strengthened, effective Jan. 1. The law now requires children to ride in a car seat until age 4 and ride in either a car seat or a booster seat through age 6. Led by THE PLAYERS Center for Child Health, the Safe Kids Northeast Florida coalition advocated for the stronger law by meeting with legislators, attending meetings and rallies in Tallahassee, getting the issue in the news, and encouraging phone calls, emails and letters to legislators. The Safe Kids coalition also conducted quarterly Booster Seat Saturday events during the past five years, thanks to funding from generous donors that includes Kohl’s and the Holland & Knight law firm. During these events, participants received valuable education on improving the safety of child occupants while riding in vehicles, as well as the child restraints they need to accomplish that goal. The best safety practice is to keep children in a car seat as long as possible, then transport them in a booster seat until they reach 4’9” in height, which is usually between 8 -12 years of age. The Safe Kids coalition and THE PLAYERS Center for Child Health will continue to advocate for even stronger laws and educate the community about best safety practices for child passengers.
More than 75,000 children received world-class medical care at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in 2014.
