Weekly Update June 16, 2023

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Lorries retirement gift/party on Thursday. She was touched by the gift and wanted to pass this along.

 

To my exceptional co-workers present day and from years gone by, 

 

I am humbled by all my friends and co-workers, physicians and residents and Interprofessional staff that came to the coffee party today to share good wishes and memories. I am overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness and generosity with the gift basket items and gift cards and all the well wishes in my retirement book. Good thing I don't have far to drive home as I was crying, mostly happy tears, on the way. Retirement will be an adjustment but I know the ward is in very capable and caring hands. I will stop in from time to time or see you at a coffee shop somewhere. Take care of each other!

 

New to Q-cards on the S-drive:  IV recommendations for CT procedures.   Please review if you have a patient needing a CT scan- see attachment

 

Effective June 13, 2023, the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Progress Note will be available on SCM:  This structured note will be utilized by the Infection Prevention and Control Practitioners for any data information pertaining to new referrals and ongoing care. See attached PDF.

 

June 27 is fast approaching for the BFI Pre-Assessment. If you are working that day, please review the laminated pink information sheets available in each unit. The Assessor will be touring the ward and may ask ANY staff member questions. You already do family centered care so you got this!

 

This week’s info tips:

1. The Feeding Policy is called “JPCH BFI Guidelines”. A copy of it is in the BFI folder on the Acute Care Pediatrics S-Drive
2. Breast/chest feeding is welcome to happen anywhere the parent feels comfortable. If the parent wants a quiet/private room to feed or pump, there is a room on main floor by the public washrooms (by the JPCH Foundation office).
3. If the parent is here with the patient AND has a sibling in the room they are nursing – please support the parent. Ensure they know breastfeeding is welcome anytime. Offer a pump if needed & let them know they can store breastmilk in the patient fridge.

 

 

 

 

Hello all,

 

I am conducting a survey to look at the attitudes of our pediatrics team towards patients/children with obesity. I would really appreciate if you could take the time to complete the survey. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
