Great Catch Quynh! Congratulations to Quynh, D., RN, who is a Great Catch award winner! This is Quynh's Great Catch: Quynh noticed that an IV fluid bag had the wrong patient name on the label. When Quynh removed and scanned the IV bag, she noticed it did not appear on the eMAR. Realizing the error, Quynh promptly notified her CNC, who then reported the incident in Vigilanz. Quynh's proactive actions exemplify the highest standards of care and dedication, making us all proud. Congratulations on being a Great Catch Winner and thank you for being a caring and proactive nurse!

Each month we recognize our colleagues who go above and beyond in caring for our community. Today we recognize Kimberly T., RN, Surgery for Customer Service! Here is Kimberly's nomination: You really made a difference to a patient and their family during their time here in the OR. You kept them continuously updated about the delays for their procedure and you patiently listened to them vent their frustrations. Even though the case was eventually canceled, they still felt well cared for during their time with us. They even asked if they could stay in surgical services for the rest of their visit since we took the best care of him. And to top it off, when you found out that he would not be able to get a dinner tray due to the late hour, you went and bought them dinner! They were so impressed and so grateful for your compassionate, thoughtful care. They were still complementing you four dates later! Thank you for giving our patients such excellent quality care.

Each month we recognize our colleagues who go above and beyond in caring for our community. Today we recognize Destiny R., 4 South, for Customer Service! Here is what a patient and their family said about Destiny: "I would check "all of the above," because it is accurate. Destiny repeatedly served us with kindness; she went above and beyond. She made our stay substantially better because her continuously anticipating how she could serve us. Do not let her get away from this hospital!"

Each month we recognize our colleagues who go above and beyond in caring for our community. Today we recognize Jannel B., RN, RRT, for Patient Safety! Here is what a colleague said about Jannel: "We requested transport to bring us a patient to special procedures from IMC. Jannel noticed the patient during transport was not fully alert and appeared unstable. She quickly reacted by getting vital signs. She activated a Rapid Response and took patient back to her room to stabilize her." Thanks Jannel for your quick actions to help your patients!

We love sharing that we are a Top 100 Hospital in the nation, putting us among the Top 2% of hospitals nationwide. We also love to share our other accolades and accreditations, but it really comes down to our patients. We recently received a letter from a patient's partner about the care they received while at MountainView. It is stories like these that drive us. Thank you for allowing us to care for you and your loved ones. The blog story "The Light" tells about their experience while in our NSICU.
