Communication breakdowns are the leading cause of sentinel events in #hospitals, so it’s no surprise that of the hundreds of challenges facing today’s #healthcare institutions, the leadership team at Carilion Giles Community Hospital (part of the Carilion Clinic hospital network) chose to prioritize improving handoff communications in their efforts to reduce patient harm. We've had the pleasure of helping nurses in CGCH’s ED and Med-Surg units implement a blueprint for structured handoff communication that allows transitions of care to occur reliably and uniformly while capturing often-missed patient information. Their efforts paid off, and since adopting the I-PASS methodology, they’ve seen significant results, including: 💬 68% reduction in communication failure-related #safety events 🕓 Decreased average length of stay 🚨 90% fewer reported rates of harm Read the full case study to learn more about how I-PASS stops #communication breakdowns and improves patient safety 👉 https://hubs.la/Q01Yt0jN0

We all grew up rubbing dirt on our wound and then slapping a band-aid on it. But, there is a better way. If you, a loved one, or even just someone you like, is dealing with a wound that has persisted for weeks or months despite best efforts, a specialist can help. With rates of chronic wounds increasing, nurses with dedicated training in wound care are more vital than ever. These specialists have the knowledge to accurately diagnose wound types, craft targeted treatment regimens, and provide the clinical care needed for healing. Equally important, they have the empathy and encouragement you need when wounds have gone from nuisance to heavy emotion burden. The hard part is finding these incredible specialists, who are mostly in the hospital. And no one wants to go to the hospital. The next hardest part is asking for help. Good thing we know some people who may be able to help with that. And you don't even need to ask. Just click. Once you do, you’ll be amazed at what’s possible. https://buff.ly/3UTEkJ1

Why Internal Medicine? In this video, Joseph, an RN on H81, talks about the opportunity to work with a wide variety of patients and patient needs, the close collaboration of teams, and the "great coworkers". There's good conversation and great teamwork, on the unit and during team outings. That's why, after three years on H81, he does not see himself leaving any time soon. Curious about H81 and how we can help you get in touch with the reason you got into nursing? Let's talk. #ClevelandClinic
