Te ASCEND (A Supportive Curriculum in Education and Development) team presented their year-long project at their graduation ceremony on Tuesday, September 26. (Left-right) Dorothy Goulart, MS, RN; Patrice McGregor, BS, RCIS; Linda Cotugno, MT (ASCP); Bonnie Chabra, MPA; Eileen Vittiglio, MS, PT; Jodi MacNeil; and Thomas Johnson, MPA comprised this year's ASCEND team. Their project was to design a program that will encourage BWH employees to generate and submit ideas and suggestions for improving areas such as patient care delivery, employee worklife, system and operational efficiencies, expense reduction and revenue enhancement. The employee suggestion program, entitled “Bring Out The BEST: Brigham Employee Suggestions Today,” outlines the idea submission process, reviewing and selecting submissions, rewards and recognition, and an oversight process to ensure selected ideas are implemented.
