- Continiuing prepartion on scoping of the implementation for the hospital
project.
- Marla Sanger, the new AVP will be the process owner for the hospital project
and the Cindie Becker will be the sponsor.
- Met with Marla Sanger and Judy Pratt twice in the past two weeks discussing
a number of potential changes that could be done in the inpatient environment. Also
discussing different strategies to on how to do the work involved.
Getting feedback about membership of the implementation team vs. the hospital
guidance team.
- The decision was made to combine the team for both inpatient units, vs.
two separate teams.
- We are developing a spreadsheet identifying all of these change items
that could be considered, identifying measurements, barriers, questions,
and possible infrastructure needs to bring forth these changes.
- Will have a meeting with Cindie Becker in the next week to begin
these discussions regarding areas for change. Our sense is that we
would need to prioritize these items and do them over different stages.
- We will be meeting with Carol Boston this week to have a discussion about
how the potential implementation changes will interface with other hospital
initiatives. We want to build a direct link with creating healing
and compassionate care.
