ALERT Members Treated To Pizza Luncheon The ALERT (Advanced Life-Saving Emergency Response Team) Advisory Committee met recently to review the process and outcomes relative to the use of ALERT and determined that the nursing staff of 3 West and 3 North had most appropriately utilized the team since its implementation in August 2008. These units were recognized and treated to pizza. The ALERT Advisory Committee meets quarterly, and in May will recognize and reward other nursing units based on appropriate utilization of ALERT. The committee considers the size of the unit and acuity level of the patients in making their decision. ALERT is available for immediate support when there is an acute change in a patient’s condition. The team may be activated by calling *77. When ALERT is activated, a nursing house supervisor and a respiratory therapy supervisor respond and implement the ALERT protocol. It is important to remember that the team does not take the place of a physician. The team may implement medical staff-approved protocols and may transfer the patient to a higher level of care if conditions warrant. The ALERT Advisory Committee plans to continue enhancing the ALERT process by providing additional education on the use of the team, obtaining evaluations on the team’s response, and providing more support to the nursing staff to reduce the “unsure” feeling of a patient’s condition. For more information on ALERT, call Leila Philips, nursing supervisor, at 377-3434, or Roy Price, Respiratory Therapy supervisor, at 377-5174. ALERT team members, (front row, from left) Donyelle Hester, Chasity Gwin, Leila Phillips, and Rhoda Tucker, recently delivered pizza to 3 West and 3 North for outstanding use of the ALERT team. Staff members of 3 West and 3 North pictured here are (back, from left) Judy Duncan, Cynthia Camp, Judy Lancaster, Dr. Paul Farabaugh, Dena Doss, Samantha Bell, Shaunda Pitts, Theresa Jenkins, Nichole Wilson, Gail Denton, Ann Gardner, and Kenya Gates.
