BWH Bulletin's year-end issue is a time to highlight BWHers' proudest moments from the past year. We asked you to share one BWH-related memory from 2014 that was meaningful to you, and you offered touching stories about colleagues, patients, families, events and milestones that inspired you. We hope you enjoy these moments.
Joint Commission Praise for VAD Program
The preparation journey for the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) program Joint Commission survey was an incredibly successful one. The surveyor was complimentary of our program, lauding our multidisciplinary team members' notes for attention to detail and follow-up.
The surveyor stated she was impressed to see how well the VAD coordinators worked as a team given the short amount of time the team was fully staffed; in fact, four out of five team members are still going through orientation!
It was an honor to prepare for the survey and go through the process with our inpatient nursing and multidisciplinary team members.
