Twelve nurses from throughout Baptist Health
were the first to graduate from our new ICU
Boot Camp in December and are now working
in the new ICU at Baptist South and the Neuro
ICU at Baptist Jacksonville.
Chief Learning Officer Justin Lombardo
explained that when the need arose last year
for more critical care nurses, system leadership
decided to offer the ICU Boot Camp to Baptist
Health team members. “It is difficult to recruit
experienced ICU nurses and we also heard
from our own nurses that they wanted more
advancement opportunities,” he said. “We
made it available to nurses across Baptist Health
and provided them with bedside experiences
in ICUs across hospitals, so it was truly a
system-based approach.”
The intensive eight-week program was led
by Alex Tecson, MSN, RN, CCRN, the ICU/
PCU educator at Baptist South. It included
eight-hour days of classroom instruction,
eLearning assignments and bedside training
with preceptors.
Ann-Marie Grietens, MSN, RN, NE-BC, director
of the Neuro ICU at Baptist Jacksonville, said,
“The ICU Boot Camp brought team members
together from many different areas and
specialties. We could not have done this without
the help of our preceptors, nurse managers,
educators, physicians, Human Resources, the
Flex Team and of course our clinical educators.”
Graduates working in the Neuro ICU are
Michelle Brown and Yvonne Derickson.
Graduates working Baptist South ICU are
Stephanie Burris, Tina Caraway, Adan Corral,
Deborah Davis, Krista Dettlaff, Joy Flor,
Marina Follick, Tiffany Hartley, Marsida Lika
and Lorine Wilson.
Congratulations to our ICU Boot Camp graduates
“I am thankful to work for a health system that is willing to take on this endeavor for our educational benefit. It says a lot about how much Baptist Health is willing to invest in team members.” Krista Dettlaff, BSN, RN
Baptist Jacksonville: Bill Phillips, ICU preceptor; Ann-Marie Grietens, Neuro ICU director; Michelle Brown, ICU Boot Camp graduate and Ethel Imperial-Strickland, Neuro ICU nurse manager.
Baptist South: Krista Dettlaff, ICU Boot Camp graduate; Elyse Kidwell, ICU preceptor and Beth Stein, ICU preceptor.

Jacksonville’s first conjoined twins undergo surgery
Wolfson Children’s Hospital experienced a
historic moment in Northeast Florida on Friday,
Jan. 2, when pediatric surgeons performed
the first of at least two surgeries to separate
conjoined twins Carter and Conner Mirabal,
born in mid-December to parents Bryan Mirabal
and Michelle Brantley.
Pediatric surgeons Nicholas Poulos, MD, and
Daniel Robie, MD, partially separated the twins’
shared small intestine to create a pathway for
Carter and Conner to receive, by mouth or tube,
either breast milk or formula. “Michelle was
able to hold the babies for the first time New
Year’s Eve for their baptism, and once they heal
from their Jan. 2 surgery, she will get to hold
them again,” says Carter and Conner’s aunt,
Jasmine Mirabal.
Wolfson Children’s Hospital held a news
conference last Monday, where Carter and
Conner’s neonatologist, Josef Cortez, MD,
discussed their medical condition and plan of
care. Dr. Robie, chief of Pediatric Surgery at
Wolfson Children’s Hospital, talked to media
about the most recent surgery and future plans
for final separation of the twins. That surgery
is expected to take place in the next six to 10
months to separate Carter and Conner’s fused
livers and bile ducts.
A team of more than 95 caregivers from Wolfson
Children’s Hospital, Nemours Children’s Clinic,
Jacksonville, and UF College of Medicine –
Jacksonville and are providing care throughout
their journey.

Encouraging nurses to pursue stroke certification
With Primary Stroke Centers in our hospitals and
our Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center at Baptist
Jacksonville, our focus on excellent stroke care
includes a systemwide effort to support nurses
who would like to achieve the Stroke Certified
Registered Nurse (SCRN) credential.
In July 2014, Casey Carrigan, MD, stroke
medical director at Baptist Beaches, purchased
one year of unlimited access to the SCRN Exam
Review eLearning course offered by MED-ED,
a leading provider of continuing education for
nurses. Dr. Carrigan also developed a neurology
curriculum that he offered to nurses on a weekly
basis for several months during the summer.
Meanwhile, study groups were formed at Baptist
Beaches by Cheryl M. Lewis, MSN, RN, CCRN,
SCRN, stroke coordinator for Baptist Beaches
and Baptist Nassau, and by Dorothy Adair,
ARNP, SCRN, stroke coordinator for Baptist
Jacksonville. Additionally, through the efforts
of Lewis, Baptist Beaches was designated as an
official testing site by the American
Board of Neuroscience Nursing,
so our nurses didn’t have to travel
outside the area to take the exam
last September. Future exams,
including the upcoming exam in
February, will be hosted at Baptist Beaches.
Information regarding the exam can be viewed
on the ABNN website.
Mindy Grall, PhD, ARNP, system director of the
Stroke & Cerebrovascular Program, explained
that in addition to the SCRN exam review being
available online until July 15, 2015, study groups
have been designed with the ability to view
the schedule and sign up through eLearning.
“For nurses who pursue the SCRN, but have
already benefited from a salary increase for a
prior certification, we are offering an additional
incentive.” To learn more about incentives and
resources available to nurses to obtain SCRN
designation, contact Grall at 904.202.0559.

Baptist hospitals earn re-accreditation as Chest Pain Centers
All of our adult emergency
centers at Baptist Jacksonville,
Baptist South, Baptist
Beaches, Baptist Nassau
and Baptist Clay have
received Chest Pain
Center accreditation
from the Society of
Cardiovascular Patient
Care (SCPC).
Additionally, Baptist South achieved
accreditation with Percutaneous Coronary
Intervention (PCI) for the first time and Baptist
Jacksonville maintained its accreditation with
PCI. This designation is for hospitals that use
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),
also known as coronary angioplasty, which is
delivered in Cardiac Catheterization labs.
Accredited Chest Pain Centers ensure that
patients who arrive at the hospital with chest
pain or other symptoms of a heart attack receive
the treatment necessary during the critical
window of time when the integrity of the heart
muscle can be preserved.
Darin Roark, RN, administrator of Emergency
Services for Baptist Health, explained
that representatives from the Society of
Cardiovascular Patient Care toured the hospital
campuses during a week-long visit; met with
Baptist Health leadership; interviewed many
team members, physicians, patients and
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers;
and conducted an extensive review of our
records and performance metrics.
Richard Stromberg, MD, systemwide medical
director of our Chest Pain Centers, said, “We
are very proud of the fact that patients are
quickly evaluated, stabilized and treated and
that the care is similar and excellent at all of the
Baptist hospitals.”
Congratulations to our team members, physicians and community EMS providers, whose dedication, skill and collaboration are essential to achieving this important recognition of the life-saving care we provide.

Our patients tell our story bestNew TV spots introduced this month
When we launched our brand promise of
Changing Health Care for Good in 2013,
we began a communication campaign to
convey our vision for delivering an even
better, more consistent experience across
our health care system. “Our promise of
Changing Health Care for Good is true to
who we have always been and represents our
ongoing commitment to doing what is right
for our community,” said President and CEO
Hugh Greene.
As 2015 begins, we have introduced three,
new television spots to refresh our message
to the community. Cindy Anderson, Brand
and Marketing director, led development
of the new TV ads that feature three
courageous patients whose lives have
changed for the better thanks to significant
innovations that have taken place at Baptist
Health.
Melanie Husk, senior vice president of
Marketing and Communications, noted,
“Because authenticity is so important to
our brand, we chose a director who films
documentaries in order to allow our patients
and their family members to tell their stories
in their own words.”
The ads can be seen on the local news, many
popular weekly TV series and several high-
visibility programs, including the Academy
Awards and the Super Bowl pre-game show.
To view the spots from a
Baptist Health computer, go
to the intranet homepage
and select BlueTube, our
new internal video channel.

Baptist hospitals earn Women’s Choice Awards in six different categoriesThe Women’s Choice Award identifies America’s Best Hospitals based on patient satisfaction, clinical excellence and women’s preferences when it comes to a quality health care experience.
America’s Best Hospitals for Patient Safety Baptist Jacksonville and
Baptist South were
recognized with this award
in December.
The award identifies
hospitals that have
a low incidence
of problems arising from surgical errors and
infections by using the 12 measures reported to
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Measures pertaining to surgical errors receive
slightly heavier weight in the scoring as a result
of their research that indicates these are of more
relative importance to women.
America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics
Baptist Beaches, Baptist
Jacksonville and Baptist
South were recognized with
this award on Jan. 13. The
scoring process for
this award is unique
in that it focuses on
female patient satisfaction. Hospitals were
selected based on their exceptional scores for
patient recommendation in HCAHPS surveys
from female patients after filtering out hospitals
that had abnormal results for certain important
clinical considerations.
More recognition to come We have already been notified that some of our
hospitals will be recognized later this year in the
following categories: n America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care n America’s Best Breast Centersn America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedicsn America’s Best Hospitals for Cancer Care
Care Connection will bring you details about
these awards throughout the year when they
are formally announced.

Meet this month’s Star: Kathleen Strader, BSN, RN, Risk Management, Baptist Jacksonville
Why did you become involved in ExCEL?I was searching for educational opportunities on the intranet and found
the ExCEL area. I read the requirements for level one and realized that
I was already doing many of them. As a Flex nurse, I wasn’t sure if I was
eligible to participate. I spoke with my manager who encouraged me
to apply.
How have you benefited from ExCEL?When I started, I expected only to complete a checklist of requirements and be done. As
I progressed through the program, I became more informed about happenings at Baptist,
and I became a participant in changes that affected my daily practice and my department.
I have been encouraged to pursue interests that I developed as a result of ExCEL, and
with the council’s approval, I broadened the scope of the requirements to develop those
interests. Although I anticipated professional growth, I did not expect the personal growth
and confidence I obtained as a result.
What advice would you give to nurses who are interested in ExCEL?The two biggest obstacles I hear about are eligibility for Flex nurses and all the required
paperwork. Flex nurses are eligible to participate and are given encouragement and support
to do so. The paperwork is not as daunting or voluminous as many nurses anticipate. ExCEL
is a great way to get involved, find out what is happening systemwide, and invigorate the
passion that led you to become a nurse in the first place.
A nurse for 24 years, Kathleen Strader joined
the Flex Team at Baptist Health in 2004. She
has been active in her Unit Council at Baptist
Jacksonville and has participated in Shared
Governance at Baptist Beaches, Baptist South
and Baptist Nassau. Strader was a Transfer and
Lift with Care (TLC) Program coach and assisted
her manager with staff education for the
Flex nurses.
Because of the opportunities she experienced
through ExCEL, Strader was offered a temporary
position in Risk Management. She discovered
she loved the work and transferred to the
department in August 2014.

retired from Baptist
Health on Dec. 31,
2014, after 16 years of service. She said,
‘My dream was to become a nurse, but my
health didn’t allow me to do so. I looked
for a job where I would have contact with
patients and families, and as long as I was
able to give some care, I was content.
My co-workers were my family away from
home.”

Distinguished CaregiverVanessa Rizzie, RN,
Medical-Surgical Unit
Vanessa Rizzie has been recognized by
team members and visitors for being
there for patients when they need her
most. One team member shared how
Rizzie finished her last three days of
orientation taking care of a patient
who had been hospitalized for several
months. On the third day, the patient’s
condition worsened and the patient made the
choice to die. He was scared and anxious, so
Rizzie stayed by his side until his family arrived,
and even came back after she clocked out to
spend more time with the patient and family.

Stocking stuffer drive
On average, about 60 children are living at
Sulzbacher Center’s homeless shelter every
day. Despite their circumstances, these children
look forward to the holidays and eagerly await
the arrival of Santa to fill their stockings on
Christmas morning.
Senior consultant for Patient Experience Janice
Kiernan, who is also a Sulzbacher Center board
member, initiated the request to conduct a
stocking stuffer drive for the children of the
shelter and Baptist Beaches team members
responded in a big way.
Collection bins were quickly filled, collected
and refilled over a two-week period. The
Food Services department adopted the
stocking stuffer project and contributed a
huge amount of toys, games, crayons, books,
and other gifts. Some team members from
Surgical Services went above and beyond
and contributed their donations in beautiful
packages and gift bags.
On Dec. 22, Community Relations coordinator
Jill Lortz delivered the overflowing bins, bags
and boxes to the Sulzbacher Center. “The
response to this stocking stuffer drive was much
greater than I expected,” said Kiernan. “I am
thrilled that so many children will be delighted
by the generosity of our Baptist Beaches
family!”

environment not only for the patient and family, but also
for our team members.” Jeanne Damrow, RN, added, “It

PACU nurse volunteers onboard the Africa Mercy
Robyn Dandridge, MSN, RN, of
the Outpatient Surgery Center,
spent two weeks in November
as a volunteer onboard the
Africa Mercy, in the ship’s PACU
(Post Anesthesia Care Unit)
where she recovered patients
after orthopedic surgery,
hernia repair and maxillofacial
surgery. The Africa Mercy, which
was docked in Madagascar,
is the world’s largest civilian
hospital ship and is operated
by Mercy Ships, a global
nonprofit organization that uses hospital ships
to transform the lives of people in developing
nations. Staffed by 400 volunteer crew members
from 40 nations, it is outfitted with five state-of-
the-art operating rooms, a recovery room, an
ICU, and ward bed-space for 82 patients.
“My service onboard the Africa Mercy was
amazing,” said Dandridge. “The gratitude of
the people of Madagascar, the commitment
of the volunteers, the multi-national make-up
of the team, and the comprehensiveness of
the ministry of Mercy Ships is wonderful. I am
thankful to Baptist Health for giving me the
education, experience and support
that provided me the courage
and qualifications needed to
offer my service to the people
of Madagascar. I appreciate
working for an organization
whose mission is to continue
the healing ministry of Christ.”

iPads enhance children’s therapy
Judy Hammer-Knisely,
PhD, a speech-language
pathologist at Wolfson
Children’s, worked
with David Francis,
Information Services (IS)
desktop engineer and
iPad developer, and
Jan Michael Long, IS
Clinical Systems project
manager, to develop a
strategy for using iPads
as a therapeutic tool to help children overcome
illness and learn new skills.
Hammer-Knisely selected 150 therapeutic
applications, and Francis configured them to
provide uniformity and centralized management
so that the applications will be available on
all of the iPads at any Wolfson Children’s
Rehabilitation location. The iPads increase
the repertoire of tools available to speech,
occupational and physical therapists to keep
young patients engaged when working on skills
that are difficult to learn and execute.
Many of the apps can be incorporated into
therapy to collect data, teach
concepts, follow directions, make
choices, teach sounds, and improve
fine motor skills and memory. They
can also to be used as assistive
communication devices. Children
enjoy interacting with the therapists
on the iPad, and the therapists
can show parents how to use the
apps to continue therapy with their
children at home.
