HospitalReceives Prestigious-Designations
MGH was recently given a Level il Cardiac designation and
Level Ill Stroke Center designation by the Washington State
Department of Health. This means that MGH proactively
developed an internal hospital system that promotes quality
carewhich begins with EMS notifying MGH of a stroke or
cardiac patient's arrival. Once EMS has alerted MGH of the
impending arrival, the Hospital mobilizes the "Stroke or
Cardiac Team,"which consists of a group of physicians and
RNs who prepare to immediately assess and treat the patient
- to support the best possible outcome.
Several MGH physicians and staff members collaborated
with Providence St. Peter Hospital and local EMS personnel
to develop a model for early stroke and cardiac diagnosis
and treatment, which allows care to be initiated at the 911
call. The work included developing a transfer policy that
provides for timely transfer to the next level of care. For
their outstanding work in this, MGH has gained statewide
recognition. Those who worked closely on the Stroke and
Cardiac designations were: Dona Kravis, R.N., director of the
Emergency Department; Dean Gushee, M.D., ER medical
director; Joseph Hoffman, M.D., ER physician and EMS
medical physician director (MPD); and Sabrina Lyons, R.N.,
clinical coordinator for the Emergency Department.
Congratulations to MGH
"Employee of the Month"for
