My First Week Volunteering For The Quality Department

Entry Five This is my third week volunteering in the Quality Department, today is January 29, 2015. I came in at 6:00 a.m. this morning. The office outside of Jennifer’s where I am currently set up is very busy! Five people share this office. This office is very open and it is a little difficult for me to concentrate when everyone is here. Although the highlighting of the last TB test in red has helped immensely, this is still foreign information to me so I really need to concentrate. I am trying to redeem myself from the mistake I made with the Active physicians letters that unfortunately a majority of them had to be redone. I was a little naive to think I was going to complete this project for Jennifer in the first few weeks of my volunteer time. I completed half of the Courtesy staff physicians last week and I completed the other half today. Jennifer did receive some exciting news today! The Quality Department will be gaining a new part time employee. Technically not a part time employee, Britney a nurse from RCC (Recovery Care Center) will be devoting every Wednesday to helping out the Quality Department. Britney will be helping the Quality Department enter incident reports into EDGE (Every Day Giving Excellence). In July 2014 the local hospital aligned with USPI (United Surgical Partners International) to jointly acquire majority ownership of the center. With that merger came the adoption of many new requirements placed on the Dunes Surgical Hospital.Show MoreRelatedThe Day Walking Into Bangkhram Hospital924 Words   |  4 PagesThe first day walking into Bangkhram hospital, I was unsure what to expect.
