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 July - Judy Yucha, environ- mental services.
