Busy, Busy, Busy

Eight members of leadership finished a 1 1/2 day Baptist Healing Trust "Radical Loving Care" workshop today. The leadership team that completed a similar training in September of last year will join today's workshop attendees in April to discover ways to reach out to staff members and residents to achieve goals produced from the workshops.

The technology action team met with Epic Technology today to discuss nurse call/phone system solutions. We are looking to implement a flexible, comprehensive, mobile nurse call solution that will improve communication without the audible distractions. There were many solutions, but the one that allows the nurse call system to alarm through an analog phone that caregivers and nurses would carry really peaked our interest.

Also, today I presented the organization structure to Fletcher staff members and residents. Staff and residents had great questions, particularly how the Village volunteers will be involved.
