a successful day: that employees may have created a “work around” too
and relay patient feedback
expectations, etc.
them for their daily efforts, manage up with patients.

A SMJH employee, was invited to our Culture of Always committee to discuss her recent hospitalization. There were aspects of her care that were very good (Registration); however, the post-surgery/nursing care experience, overall, was not good. She provided the following examples: the transporter, from PACU to the floor, was curt with her and wouldn’t help her move to the hospital bed; one of her nurses didn’t know where “anything was in the room.” Another nurse came in and commented that it was the first time they had taken care of a patient with her type of surgical procedure. The patient said the nurse’s comment made her worry whether she was on the appropriate unit or not. When the nurses learned she was an employee her care improved since she was one of the family. Given the type of surgery, the patient voiced her concern and distress about being transported through the main lobby at discharge.
– CoA members thanked the patient for her willingness to come share her experience. – The opportunities for improvement around communication and customer service were included into an organization wide Caring Always class. – Teachable moment:
– Discharge processes are being reviewed organization wide.

Through my recent experiences on the receiving end of care at SMJH, I feel compelled to share my thoughts and impressions to you and the rest of the administrative team. On July 3rd, I found my 84 year old mom on the floor of her apartment. From the minute the EMS providers responded to our call and transported her to the ED she received NOTHING but the absolute best clinical and compassionate care imaginable. Kathy, her ED RN and the other staff were so thoughtful in trying to alleviate her discomfort, explain what was happening, and tend to my needs as well. Dr. Eden admitted her and I was struck by her kindness, empathy and efforts to preserve my mom’s dignity and allay her concerns. Ultimately, it was determined that she has Stage 4 metastatic cancer, and although I watched the shock register on my mother’s face with this devastating diagnosis, the blow was tempered by the amazing compassion, concern and truly personalized care Dr. Longo
respect, compassion and consideration for all of her needs and comfort, as well as kindheartedness and empathy for her family. As a clinician, I am privy to an inside-look at how we treat and provide clinical services—and I was so impressed how every single caretaker made her feel like she was their only patient. The RN’s on the floor consistently went above and beyond any expectations in showing they sincerely cared for
from Health and Wellness, took the time to visit with her and bring her flowers, cards and a smile--- such a tribute to their genuine love and concern for both me and my mom. During a roller coaster week of emotions that come with this kind of diagnosis, I find myself so incredibly grateful for every single person who participated in my mother’s hospitalization to create an experience that was warm, comfortable and compassionate. I am struck by how my mother’s feelings and comfort were of utmost concern by every single staff member who cared for her from the beginning, providing wonderful care, empathy, concern and clinical excellence throughout the hospitalization. I saw the teamwork in action that we all talk about so much, and felt the impact of supreme clinical treatment and the very Martha Jefferson brand of the caring touch. I have never been so proud to work for such a wonderful organization, and to be part of a consummate team.
