Pam Duke, Supervisor Patient Experience and Candi Kles, CICU Unit Manager, Athens Regional Medical Center
Athens Regional Medical Center formed a committee to discuss how to improve the experience for patients having open-heart surgery. The committee had three goals:
-
- Create a standardized process for educating and communicating to patients and family
- Decrease the patient’s and family’s anxiety
- Improve the overall patient and family experience with a focus on key areas that are affected by HCAHPS scores
In this presentation, participants will hear how Athens Regional Medical Center identified a service issue; gathered the right people from both a clinical and nonclinical background to be involved in the improvement effort and how this effort resulted in achieving their three goals.
