team of the season

T H E “A” T E A M H U R L E Y M E D I C A L C E N T E R A M B U L AT I O N T E A M The A-Team, or Ambulatory Team, is Hurley’s first Team of the Season for 2023. The A-Team consists of Jabari Brown, Moniquea Henry, and Darius Taylor. They are primarily responsible for getting patients who are 65 and older, as well as ambulatory, up and walking. As Angela Gagne, a Nurse Case Manager puts it, “Everyone is always visiting patients to do tests, but not the A-Team. They’re just there to walk and talk.” The talking part of her description may be just as important as the A-Team’s impact on mobility scores, as their presence has affected patients’ experience here at Hurley as much as patient outcomes.

Gagne explains a little further, “They help patients so they can advance home, so they don't have to go to a nursing home.” That outcome is not always easy to achieve, but the A-Team, in its two short years of existence, has had a big impact. Seth DuQuette, Nurse Clinician in the ICU and CCU, says, “There have been process improvement efforts in increasing mobility for a long time, as it's one of the most difficult metrics to move because it's one of the most difficult jobs that nurses have to do.

The very first month that A-Team came into

CCU, they increased mobility scores by more than 25% when we expected them to go down because of higher acuity. If they weren't here to do it, it wouldn't be getting done with the efficacy and efficiency it's getting done with.”

Michelle McLaughlin, Nurse Manager for ICCU, takes it further, explaining that, “Not only is mobility up, delirium is down, and skin issues have reduced. They work really well with our staff, their insight and intuition is amazing, and they spend time with patients and build relationships with them. Such a simple solution is so effective.”

It is that talking - the relationship building that resonates with the A-Team themselves.

Darius explains that “The chance to connect with the patients is the best part. Its not always medical, sometimes we just go in and comfort the patients, we’ll set them up and talk to them when others can't.” The others agreed. Another thing they agreed on is that they do not see anything challenging in their job, and they enjoy their time with patients. Moniquea says “We love to cheer them on when we see them working with other staff, like physical therapists.”

Jabari adds, “Even the ones that don't want to

team of the season walk, eventually they work with us because of the relationship we have.” This unfailing positivity is so obvious in every interaction they have that it’s impossible to think its any less important than the walking they do with patients.

Even though it is all here full time, Monday through Friday, each member of the A-Team stays busy when they are not clocked in. Jabari runs a custom t-shirts and signs business, and likes to take his kids on trips. Moniquea is a homebody, but also spends time with her family camping, hiking, canoeing, and fishing.

Darius started teaching music online during the beginning of the pandemic, and still does today.

He also likes to hang out with his kids, and engage in the “sciency” things that they enjoy, like robotics.

When asked how they feel about being named the first Team of the Season, Jabari says, “I want to thank Hurley for starting the program, we’ve been welcomed with open arms across the hospital.” Moniquea adds, “I’m also grateful for the program, because I’ve seen the progress and outcomes it enables.”

The A-Team received a gift package that included a party hosted by Sovita Credit Union with their team, Hurley Bucks to be used in the Lobby Shop, Cafeteria or at Jazzman’s, photo shoots of the team in action, and a laminated certificate. Congratulations, A-Team!

The Team of the Season Award is our way of recognizing the teamwork that is so important at Hurley in assisting the fulfillment of our mission of “Clinical Excellence, Service to People”.

Teams are awarded this recognition based on their demonstration of a collaborative spirit, mutual accountability, support to others, fulfillment of Hurley’s mission and overall positive attitude.

HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER HONORED AS

World’s Best Smart Hospitals NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE

As we head into this new year, Hurley Medical Center would like to share that Newsweek Magazine has named our destination hospital as one of the top Smart Hospitals in the world in 2023!

Newsweek is recognizing the top 250 institutions around the world, ranking Hurley #115 for using new technology to improve care, health goals and quality of life for patients. This is the second time Hurley Medical Center has made this exclusive list, showing how the hospital continues to lead the way into the future of healthcare. Hurley is just one of two destination hospitals in the state to achieve this honor. The University of Michigan Hospitals-Michigan Medicine was also ranked for its use of robotics.

Hurley Medical Center Rankings 1 of 2 Hospitals Ranked in Michigan Top 50 in the United States (#42) Ranked #115 in the World Technology is a priority because Hurley Medical Center and Hurley Children’s Hospital know advanced technology leads to the best care and outcomes for families. Hurley is a destination hospital for patients across Mid-Michigan, the Great Lakes Region and the Thumb. When patients need surgeries, complex diagnoses or specialists who can get them to recovery quicker, they don’t have to travel downstate anymore.

The experts and advanced technology are closer, at Hurley Medical Center and Hurley Children’s Hospital. Here are several ways Hurley has advanced technology in the past couple of years, since first making the list.

•

On cutting edge of developing predictive tools to identify patient decline BEFORE it happens

•

Improving Telemedicine capabilities to expand access to care

•

Developing tools to allow patients to be monitored from home so interventions can be made before they need to come to Emergency

•

Making care tools more mobile so technology can be utilized right at the patient bedside, where it is needed most

•

Sending alerts to providers’ phones so they can be aware of critical situations immediately

10 • HURLEY MEDICAL CENTER

"It is a great honor to be recognized again by Newsweek as a hospital that has maximized its use of technology to make patient care better,” says Dr. Michael Roebuck, Chief Medical Information Officer.

“Recognition at this level validates the efforts of both the Technology Team and the Clinical End Users." *Hurley is 1 of 5 health systems in the state to be validated as a HIMSS Stage 7 Hospital maximizing electronic medical records to provide care that is safe, efficient and high quality. *Our growing technology allows doctors in the NICU to predict symptoms in babies before they experience them. *With innovative bar codes and IV pumps, we improve safety making sure patients get the correct medications and doses. *Hurley has been able to share 3.5 million patient records with 2000 hospitals spanning 50 states.

The digital transformation helps patients if they get sick or hurt on vacation or have moved. *MyChart allows patients to get test results quicker and make appointments easier.

As an independent hospital, Hurley Medical Center has carefully managed its resources in order to become a cutting edge medical center, providing advanced care to patients in 15 Michigan counties.

As technology advances, the hospital has made it a priority to value its investments and make the investments work to their maximum.

In partnership with the global data research company Statista Inc., Newsweek created the World’s Best Smart Hospital 2023 rankings based on worldwide recommendations from hospital managers and medical professionals, analyzing thousands of votes in a survey on smart hospitals.

Last month was a busy one! With February being American Heart Month, we were supporting community events that were sharing information and resources on heart health. We kicked off the week at Catholic Charities, dropping off undergarments for the community and providing a heart health newsletter. Then we went to the Greater Flint Arts Council to discuss how heart health awareness impacts self-care. Bountiful Love Ministries held an event called Heart2Hold and we were on hand at Berston Field House’s We Are One event providing education on heart health and knowing where to go.

Hasselbring Senior Center hosted a class called Senior Self Care – Heart Health Informed, then we finished up Heart Month at Spirit of Victory Outreach Ministries Heart Health Awareness event.

Get to Know Carbon Monoxide Alarms Fuels that burn like wood or charcoal, or make heat or energy using carbon-based fuels--natural gas, propane, oil, gasoline or diesel engines–can produce a gas called carbon monoxide. Malfunctioning or improperly vented fireplaces, furnaces and portable and stationary generators can produce carbon monoxide.

You can’t see the gas. You can’t smell it.

But carbon monoxide can make you really sick or kill you.

A carbon monoxide alarm will let you know if unsafe levels of this poison gas are in your house.

You need an alarm outside bedrooms.
