Performance Review: Ms. Smith's Contributions to Patient Care Quality

Ms. Smith actively collaborates with medical, pharmacy, and social work teams to manage patient care, focusing on DVT prophylaxis, lab monitoring, blood pressure, glucose control, and pain management. She ensures the effectiveness of PRN medications is evaluated promptly.

Following a code blue/stroke event, Ms. Smith identified a deficiency in PPE accessibility for isolation rooms. She proposed a new isolation code cart to store necessary PPE, such as N95 masks, ensuring rapid staff response during emergencies.

Ms. Smith proactively uses 'Green Light to Go' education sheets for patients with chronic conditions like CHF, COPD, and Diabetes. She consistently includes these materials in discharge packets and mentors unit staff on their usage to reduce hospital readmission rates.
